Hey all, our first day of our 2nd season of boating didn't go so well.
At the end of the year last year the boat was having some idling issues. Figured it was the carb, so I ended up picking up a reman from fly fishing carbs and swapped them out. Boat is now running much better and idles just like it should.
We took it out for our first day today and the boat was running great. Cruised for a bit at 25 mph and all seemed well. Put the throttle to the floor and it started to build up them boom boat dies and the 10amp ignition fuse is blown. Put in another turn the ignition and instantly blows. We ended up having to get towed in which is a bummer.
Get it backed into the garage, throw another fuse in, turn the ignition, and it doesn't blow. So I hook the boat up to the muffs to start her up and she fires up no issues. Let her run for 5 minutes or so and all seemed well. Gave her a rev and it blew another fuse as right around 3k rpms. I am stumped at this point and looking for any suggestions or experience. Never had a issue like this before the carb and I my gut tells me its a completely different issue, but at this point I am unsure.
I appreciate the input.
