89 Evinrude 150 no igition power

[brusk]

Ok so this was my fault and i'm having the fun of trying to understand how the elctrical system on this thing works. I pulled off the ignition switch to put on a new gauge cluster panel and clean the connections at the same time. Being in a rush I slipped with the screwdriver and popped the power wire, assumed oh well there's another fuse I will have to replace. After further inspection I also noticed that I wasn't getting any power up and down on the motor. I see that the ignition harness completely bypasses the fuse panel and goes directly to the engine. The only thing I'm seeing are the 2 40amp Hella relays. Where does it get all it's power from are there any fuses or is it just these 2 relays?

There's an inline fuse under the engine cowl hopefully someone will have a pic for you.
It will look like a single cable joiner but bigger, near the big red plug.

yepper..Fed told you right..look near the big red plug for a probably red rubber connection that pulls apart and whala you got yourself a blown fuse that needs replacing.

There is a very small 20 amp fuse that sits inside a red rubber casing on the port side of the engine. The casing pulls apart to access the fuse.
