fuzes
I looked all over the transom for this small, 3 fuze block. It doesn't exist on my boat. It's such tight quarters in there that I wonder where the heck it would fit. All I found was an inline fuze for accy power on the hot terminal of the battery.
Inline fuze and fuze terminal directly above the battery were heavily corroded. I cleaned the fuze and cleaned as best I could the inside of the terminal and tried the switches. No change. I then surmised maybe the fuze was no good, so I replaced with another. No change. I then figured that maybe the terminal was no good, so I cut the fuze out of the circuit and put a connector on the end of the accy power lead for a direct connect to the battery. Still no change.
To this point I could still turn the ignition on and see hours, fuel, and lit up guages, and if I tried, the engine would crank.
I putzed around in the housing of the center console figuring maybe I could find a loose wire. Everything looked intact. My wife went up under and looked around just to confirm my findings as she is an electrical engineer. All wiring to breakers and everything looked good.
I then noted that I could not see hours on the guage and nothing was lit up. Tried to crank and raise and lower the motor... now completely dead. I tested the battery... still good. Boat is a total dead fish now.
I'm very frustrated right now.
Nearest dealer is Sturgeon Bay, and when I bought my boat there, I didn't perceive that they have much of a service department. When I type my zip into the thing at Triumph, it only lists Sturgeon Bay... not good. Show me all, please. I thought there was one in Minnesota. Maybe they are no longer there... who knows. Guess I'll call Dan up at Sturgeon Bay. I hope my boat isn't down too long.
Best Regards,
Justin Rupp
