Always fuse the positive
My take - Always fuse the positive, as close to the power source as possible (i.e. between first termination/switch and battery).
A short between fuse and battery is basically outside the "zone of protection" provided by the fuse, and will burn up the battery; a short that is unfused can burn up insulation, wires, and delicate electronics. Since water is such a good conductor, and the possibility for inundation or other phenomenon exists while kayaking, take precaution and fuse accordingly.
