I am using 250's now on each of the 2 shunted batteries on House 1. The 300A fuse is right on the 300A Blue Sea DC disconnect switch right before the inverter. House 1 is wired direct to the inverter and also to the (1-2-Off-All) Perko at the helm. Before I installed the 300A switch there was no way to disconnect the inverter from the battery.
I was thinking of a 150A for the 2/0g and a 100A for the 2, still keep my 250A for each battery and protect the new 2g with it's own fuse.
The 300A fuse is right under the settee cushion and easy to access if needed. The spares are right in the chart lockers at the helm. If it blows will be a 3 minute job.

You have so many fuses, it looks overly complicated.
What protects the 2/0 from the battery up through the floor to the rotary disconnect switch?
Is that where you ran the new 2 AWG as well?

Right now House 1 is (2) 300AH Li Time each with a 250A Blue Seas terminal fuse connected to buss bars in the battery box. The positive runs up about 10 feet via 2/0 and connects to a Blue Seas 300A switch with a 300A terminal fuse. The new 4/0 cable runs from the 300A fuse to inverter positive.
The negative side is the same except the negative from the battery buss goes to the shunt and then up to the negative buss bar close to the inverter and the 4/0 from this bar to inverter negative.
The fourth fuse is an existing 400A class T in the engine room in the inverter line.
