I consulted a wire gauge chart. A 6 ga wire has an ampacity (so can carry an amp load) of 65 amps, while an 8 ga can carry 50A.

I understand that to mean the 8 ga wire can fail before the 60A fuse….the wire is not protected. My thinking, then, is if I drop down to a 50A fuse on the 8 ga wire there should be minimal risk, and I don’t think there should be any nuisance trips. Sorry to belabor this, but I would rather think it out now. Thanks to everyone for the conversation.
