Fuse Replacement
There is one fuse in the boat that protects the RiverPro/RioPro from excessive incoming power. If this
fuse continues to blow, check the battery and wiring harness before applying power again.
To replace the fuse:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Open the battery deck plate cover.
3. The fuse is located on the red power cable.
4. Gently pull the fuse housing apart.
5. Check the fuse using an ohmmeter. Replace the fuse if necessary with a 4 amp Slo-Blow fuse (size
3AG).
