Two fuses are located on the top of the engine. Remove the engine cover to access these fuses. Be certain to replace an open
fuse only with one of the same rating.
a - 15‑amp fuse
b - 25‑amp fuse
The remaining fuses are located in the vessel adapter assembly (refer to your boat owner's manual for location) and on the rear
side of the control unit of the individual instrumentation.
Vessel Adapter Assembly Fuse Replacement
NOTE: Refer to your boat owner's manual for the location of the vessel adapter assembly (VAA). The key for the VAA was
provided along with the ignition keys.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Unlock and open the cover of the vessel adapter assembly.
3. Determine which fuse belongs to the failed circuit using the illustration below.
a - Helm power 5‑amp fuse
b - EFP 1‑amp fuse
c - Feature A 1‑amp fuse
d - T.15 5‑amp fuse
e - Feature B 1‑amp fuse
f - Main power 10‑amp fuse
4. Replace the blown fuse with a new fuse of the same rating.
5. Close and lock the cover of the VAA.
Lanyard Stop Switch
The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator moves far enough away from the operator's
position (as in accidental ejection from the operator's position) to activate the switch. Tiller handle outboards and some remote
control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard stop switch can be installed as an accessory ‑ generally on the
dashboard or side adjacent to the operator's position.
A decal near the lanyard stop switch is a visual reminder for the operator to attach the lanyard to their personal flotation device
(PFD) or wrist.
