None of us, including yours truly, are immune from being cheap when the downside is known, mitigated, and limited.
I would have likely done the same thing and made sure that the terminal squeeze was done right. Nothing wrong with 95mm2 conductors, just unusual, that is why I asked.
Take the $200 that was saved and enjoy a fine dinner with those that you love. Great job!
WRT the blown 60 Amp fuse, at this level of current I seldom use a fuse. You can get a Blue Seas 187 series (Edit) 70 A CB on Amazon for about $80. Or about a third of that price for a knock off, which I have never used.
Provided it is downstream from a class T fuse you are fine with the Blue Seas (really a Bussmann) product.

Yeah, I will replace with a 70a if I can.
Edit: MRBFs aren’t available in 70a. They are in 75a, so I’ll go with that.

I would use a CB other than space is really at a premium. The MRBF is convenient. Except of course when it blows. Lol

What type of chemistry did they use?
