No electrical power

[gooner63]

Hi all.........I was wondering if anyone can help ! Whilst investigating a fault with my fuel gauge I accidentally shorted a terminal on the gauge.Now have no power at fuse board and only the motor starts and tilts.....have checked the fuses and cannot find any blown ones. Anyone have any ideas ?

Can you give information about what kind of motor it is?

[gooner63]

Its a suzuki DF 90...........even the automatic bilge has no power !

[gonzo]

Is the power to all the boat systems fed through the positive in the engine starter?

[gooner63]

I'm not sure..........all I know at present is that the engine still starts and tilts but everything else is dead !

[gonzo]

Finding out where the power feed is, will be your first step

Thanks for that.......I'll get on the case tomorrow.......if it's not a fuse any ideas what it could be ?

Some boats are connected to a fusible link in the motor. It is a short piece of wire of thinner gauge. If you shorted it, it needs to be replaced.

Power feed must come from engine as isolator kills all !
