    Im an idiot...help

    For those of you who dont know. I spent the entire day and last night rewiring my stereo with 1/0 gauge wire and added a more power full amp to make all 3 the same. I also added my kinetik at this time and an isolator.

    long story short. I got finished.....almost. I had everything done except tightening down the wires on the isolators posts, when I decided that I would put in the batteries and hook them up. then went to tighten up the isolators wires and what would you know......I shorted onto the engine block with my wrench.

    my question is what fuse did I blow or circuit breaker did I trip? I checked as many as I could find but the boat still doesnt have power at the key.

    what do I do?

    thanks in advance

    Doubt these motors still use a fusible link, but maybe a maxi fuse??

        Check to see if you have the 90 amp fuse at the starter. That will shut everything down. I know from experience.

                  On my previous boat I had a similar condition occur, not by shorting a wrench between the engine and battery, but something happened and I didn't have any power at all, nothing in the engine bay worked, could'nt start the engine. There was a main breaker or something like that on the back side of the engine with a reset button, the button was read and it had 50 embossed into it. So I guess it is a 50 amp ckt breaker, once I discovered that button, I pressed it and wha la, everything was working again. I don't think I have seen anything like that on my tige, but I also haven't had the need to go looking for it either. That is how I discovered it on my previous boat, the nothing working condition sent me looking for a cause.

                  Good luck!
                  I don't want to go to work, take me wake surfing instead!

                      Look around for a main Breaker with a red button, that's probably what you popped when you decided to arch-weld with a Craftsman

                            Dave; talk about adding insult to injury. Go easy on the poor guy. Not only has he lost the power for his new tunes, he can't even get the engine started.

                            Your a funny guy.

                            "Hey," can he borrow your 24 while his is down? After all you aren't using it!
