1998 Searay Mercruiser Ignition Fuse

[the dude]

98 sea ray blows ignition fuse only when throttle is above 3\4 for 1 minute . I read this exactly off another forum site but it's exactly what mine does, same year etc. Couldn't get any response off that forum. I only have 20 hours on mine. Did hit a rock and blow that fuse last year but now what??

Is the motor an EFI? Where is the fuse and how many amps is it?<br /><br />Regarding the rock, can't think of any relationship except maybe for the trim limit switch and sender on the gimbal ring. The sender is a ground to the gauge so that shouldn't be it, but maybe the trim limit.<br /><br />Actually, the trim system fuse is separate from the ignition system anyhow, so that shouldn't be it either.<br /><br />EFIs use a lot of juice, but that goes through the breaker on the motor, not a fuse. And there's the fusable link on the starter, but you'd have said "fusable link".<br /><br />How many gauges do you have? They'd be powered by that fuse. Do the instrument lights go on with the key or with a separate switch? Are there accessories tapped into the ignition switch? They're primarily set-up for just the motor ... minimal or no accessories.<br /><br />I guess I'll have to concede to being baffled by this one.
