TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
BATTERY WILL NOT
CHARGE AND ELECTRIC
STARTER WILL NOT
OPERATE
The battery-charging circuit and the
electric starter relay circuit are
protected by the 15-ampere fuse. If
the fuse burns out, the engine will
not charge the battery, and the
electric starter will not operate. The
engine can be started using the
emergency starter rope.
The ignition switch is protected by
the 10-ampere fuse. If the fuse burns
out, the engine will not start or run,
and the power trim/tilt switch will
not operate.
Fuse Replacement
1. With the engine stopped, remove
the engine cover.
2. Remove the fuse cover.
3. Remove and inspect the fuse. If a
fuse is burnt out, install a
replacement fuse of the specified
rating. The outboard motor is
supplied with a spare fuse in each
fuse holder.
