Ignition

[Florida Flyer]

Well, one good run with it and now it's dead again. Seems to not be getting and power to the ignition system. Starter won't turn over, can short the solenoid with a screwdriver and get it to crank, but doesn't fire at all. I did get a little spark when hooking up positive wire on back of alternator (wrench quickly touched block). Could I have fried a fuse somewhere ? Been looking, can't find the problem. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not. But

Well ya got to start with what are you working on?
In your other thread it's probably a 2007 3.0 with AG2 drive. Could use your motor serial number.

Going to need a voltmeter.
There is a 90 Amp fuse on the starter post, it's square looking and has the fuse inside it

So this thing.

There is continuity for the bolt going straight through, but does not seem to be for the terminal going out

So this thing.

Yes, that is the Alternator protection fuse. If its blown then 12V will not pass.
The fuse is inside the block. Check continuity from the small bolt to the large tab

I did. And no connection. Seems it may be it.

I figured it had to be something simple, but I don't know boats. Thank you so much for the help!!

All good, you can get the entire assembly or just the fuse inside as pic above

Now to try to find one nearby so I can run it tomorrow.

Call around your local auto parts places, might get lucky.
Also many times Walmart might have it in the marine area. If they do you should be able to find it online and select the store and it will show if it can be picked up
