If something is attachted to a 12v circut breaker before it is sent to device, is it protected?

Wow... Thank you so much for posting this. I am just about to rewire my Sailboat from ground up. That one fact about fusing close to the Power Source was NOT done on my Sailboat. Thanks for the Safety Lesson
