CORRECTION… inverter is a 300 Watt inverter.

Absolutely. Fuses should be placed close to the source to protect wiring. Fusevat equip protects the equipment but can allow a short in supply wiring that's can cause a fire. Best to review & try to follow ABYC wiring reqmts for DIY projects.... generally much safer and frequently an insignificant cost premium.
