5 amp fuse for the coil should be more than enough.
I have a 125 amp rated forklift contactor between my engine and coach battery, and it works great after 12 years. Grainger.com 6C017 It draws less than 1.2 amps when on. It has silver allow contacts, is rated to go on and off 100,000 times under load before wearing out. Cost was only about $18 back then. I see it is $45 now.
