yes, You should fuse the wire with an inline fuse, like the plastic plug in type. Size likely 20 amp. Depends also on how long your wire is to minimize voltage drop.If I ran this motor off, say, a car battery, it would only draw the amperage it needs right?

There are different size inline fuse holders for different amperages. I have used the 30Amp fuse holder with great success in the automotive and truck electrical repair business without incident.PS, I have had bad results using in-line plastic fuse holders for more than 10 amps. They melt. Try to get a good quality fuse holder.
