| Took the boat out tonight and had a dead cranking battery at the landing. So I switched out a trolling motor battery and while I was in a rush reversed the terminals or hooked it up backwards, turned the key blew a fuse realized the problem hooked it up properly, replaced the fuse, and turned the key and blew another fuse. What could be the problem and how much poorer am I about to get?
I am a retard! |

Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I did that last year as well on my yamaha. All the fuses blew on the engine...had to replace them all... Once I did that, she came alive and was running well.
Very scary, though, to see all fuses blown like that....

| worked on it for a little while today with my mechanic, it doesn't look good pretty sure I shorted out the board. Looks like it could get alittle pricey. |
