Re: FUSE question

i dont think i talked about a test light, as i didn't know what one was untill u just told me.<br /> but when i bypassed the fuse it worked just fine.<br /> thanks again for the info.

I had the same problem over the weekend. The stern drive wouldn't go up and I couldnt leave the boat ramp. I bypassed the relays and powered the hydraulic pump directly from the battery.

The fuse (#856355 Volvo penta, 55A) blew. I substituted a fuse I got from Auto Zone for $3.89. 40A. There's a 55A fuse but it was not available and I needed to get back to the water. The 40 A fuse worked.

The good thing about the autozone fuse was that it was a breeze to install it. I screwed the housing to the transom bulkhead and hooked up the powerlines.

Im including a photo of the fuse.

Re: FUSE question

T2P,

You have replied to a thread that is a) more than 8 years old, and b) in the Mercruiser forum and you are referring to you VOLVO....

I will create a new thread for you and put it in the right forum.
