First KEEP the fusible link. It deals with the inrush better than a fuse.
The actually Current Capacity of the 16AWG wire is about 30A (roughly 3x rating). This is why should not use a fuse in place of link, you have to put such high a fuse in that its nearly pointless.
If the wiring on the circuit is 16 then the link is either 18 or 20.
I already fixed the cause of the blowing fuse link, rad fan motor burned up.

Had no fuse links.
Just build your own!
