Yes, put your "protection" on the red (hot) wire. Be sure you use the correct gauge wires and the fuse or circuit breaker should be as close to the battery as possible.

If I remember correctly, some electric motors suggest NOT using a breaker with an auto reset. However, high amp breakers without the auto reset and high amp fuses can be hard to find. I use the auto reset breaker and have yet to have a problem. However, I do not use my boat day in and day out and I have yet to trip the breaker. Following the directions that came with the motor is usually the safest bet.
