yami 225 ox66

[soliel seeker]

I have a 1999 Yamaha 225 ox66 that is blowing fuses as soon as I turn the ignition key, All other electronics are fine. Happened for the first time Saturday, replaced the fuse and all was fine. Went out Sunday, ran fine for a few hours, then quit on the way back in. Replaced the fuse, nothing when I turned the ignition key, fuse was blown. Repeated numerous times. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to iboats.<br /><br />Follow the main wiring harness from the key back to the motor. Sometimes a sharp edge will wear through the insulation and cause a short. Could also be a similar situation with the wiring to the gauges. Another common cause would be a pinched wire between the hood and the pan. Pop off the hood and see if that's it.<br /><br />I used to own a sailboat made in Bristol, RI. Suprisingly enough it was called a Bristol. Hated to sell it, but I needed the dough.
