    95 Mercruiser 4.3LX blows ign fuse intermittantly

    I am blowing my 15A ign fuse intermittantly on my 1995 4.3 LX in my Bayliner 2252 cuddy. It will usually happen while cruising. It happened once while cranking. It never happens (acts up) when I replace the fuse so I can't "catch it in the act". I have followed the purple wire to the gauges...
