Electrical System Overload Protection—3.0 TKS
An electrical overload will either open a fuse or open a circuit breaker. You must find and repair the source of the overload
before replacing the fuse or resetting the circuit breaker.
NOTE: In an emergency, when the engine must be operated and the cause for the high current draw cannot be located and
corrected, turn off or disconnect all accessories connected to the engine and instrumentation wiring. Reset the circuit breaker. If
the breaker remains open, the electrical overload has not been eliminated. Further checks must be made on the electrical
system. Contact your authorized Mercury MerCruiser dealer as soon as possible.
A circuit breaker protects the engine wiring harness and the instrumentation power lead. Reset the breaker by pushing the red
button.
