Re: [OMC-Boats] Blowing Fuses

Paul,

Which fuse or circuit is blowing, I'm guessing IGNITION? There are ( or
were originally at least) seven circuits:

1) IGNITION,
2) BILGE PUMP/BLOWER,
3) CIGAR OUTLET,
4) INTERIOR LIGHT,
5) INSTRUMENT LIGHT,
6) RUNNING LIGHTS,
7) WINDSHIELD WIPER

See: http://hhscott.com/evinrude/images/wiring/68_v6_ALL_WIRE.jpg

Don't forget to check your wiring to the ballast resistor, coil, oil
pressure and temp sending units.
