1st time out after waiting for parts and a lot of labor. Rolled her off the trailer fired her up she ran just as good as she did in the driveway. backed her off the dock kicked her into forward gear and she stalled twenty feet from the dock ,no power. The glass 20 amp fuse next to the ignition switch blew tried four more times started put in gear and died.Very cool guy pushed me in with his boat.At the dock I needed to put up my outdrive put in my last fuse pulled up my out drive. I tried and started the boat it fired up and did not die. not wanting to push my luck I towed it home. It fired right up in the driveway and I could not repeat what had happened in the water. Now I will in the morning change the fuse holder and wire to the panel.I have in the past had luck with a poorly conected fuse line.It was after all showing sighns of corrosion, but it did seem to happen when I shifted ? There was however a longer amount of time being towed in and docking before the last try.Maybe better contact after putting fuses in and out?
