I don't see why that wouldn't work. In the case of a momentary higher current, the fusible link might not fail where the fuse may, but then it would be so much easier to troubleshoot and replace the fuse. Just my thoughts, I mean they both would protect the wiring.

Agree with the value of details. Posts like this one can always be referred back to and are valuable for anyone who may experience a problem like yours. Fuse links that are hidden are forgotten and most may not even know there location as there usually trouble free. Good post and glad you have it fixed. The access cover for the pump is interesting. Where did you find it? And also does the cover for the fuse links just come loose by pulling straight up? I never accessed them.
