It's definitely a good idea to put some protection (fuse, fusible link, etc) back in place.
I prefer to stay with fusible links for this type of application though. Especially down near the starter where there isn't a whole lot of room to add a fuse holder.

Quote:
Can a blown fusible link be replaced with a MAXI™ fuse?
While "MAXI" fuses have replaced most factory-installed fusible links in late model vehicles, they do not have the same performance characteristics as fusible links and should not be used to replace them unless specifically authorized by a vehicle factory service bulletin. Fusible links continue to be used in most starting circuit applications.
