Electrical problem

[Eric Wettschreck]

87 Johnson, 70 HP.

Tooling across the lake yesterday I noticed there was no water coming out the pee hole, so I shut it down. I need a water pump and I can handle that. Now, it won't re-start. Nothing electric on the motor works. No ignition, no tilt/trim, no nothing. I don't even get a click when I turn the key.

Batteries are good, all the accessories (Lights, radio, depth finder) work. All the connections are good. I don't even know where to start looking. I'm close to my wits end with this motor.

Any suggestions????

Well, glad to hear you got the boat on the water! Take a look under the hood for an inline fuse holder - replace the fuse inside it with one the same size and you should have your power back.

The next question is why did it pop in the first place?

Ya, just as Rob suggested, look for the short inline 20 amp fuse
