It is not necessary to wire a fuse inline of the brake controller circuit blue wire. In fact, if you did install a fuse and the fuse would somehow blow while your are in transit, you will loose your trailer brakes.

The amperage that is sent to the brake magnets on this wire is very low. There will be no issues with amperage overload on the blue wire.
