Smart Shunt Fuse Can i change type of fuse to a blade type

Hi have recently installed a smart shunt on my boat and was wondering if i could easily replace the fused power supply cable that has a small glass fuse to a blade type automotive fuse in a waterproof cover as shown. Would be fitted with 1 amp fuse and cable length would be the same, maybe shorter. Does this affect the Sensing ability of the smart shunt or is it just a power feed.

Thanks Everyone. spalsh-proof-blade-fuse-holder.jpg

Hi @Jim Ball

That should be fine. A few years back some shunts were delivered with 100mA fuses and sometimes gave doubtful results, so you have a bit up the sleeve with the standard 1A.
