XT and old baja guys I have a problem
 

We were out running today for the first time this season and both engines die at the exact same time. We have drive and tab power and cabin dc power, but no power anywhere else. I did have to replace the starter fuse on the satrboard engine this winter. If it blew is there anyway it could make the one on the port engine blow also? There is no power on the dash, or any of the switches on the dash. Could the starboard engine control power to both engines?

Can you give me a idea of how the battery switches are wired? Does one switch supply both engines ignition? Do you happen to have any schmatics of the wiring?

Dont know if your 01 has it but my 03 has a relay
for each battery on the back side under the back seat,
it has a red reset button on it. On that relay when it trips
theres a small plastic arm that drops down and it cuts
all the power, to reset it move that arm back to the 3
o clock position.
Hope that helps the problem.

There is a reset button under the back seat. It has a black plastic cover and a red button on the front. Is the plastic arm you're talking about behind the black cover?

Look at it from the front that arm should be below the red button in the middle, if its tripped it will straight pointing down
at 6 o clock.If Its the same as mine and its not tripped by
pressing that button will trip it.

Kill switch wiring loose ???

I think the kill switch only effects the ignition. I have no power at the helm.

Shouldn't be able to blow both fuseable links on the starter. If I remember correctly you helped me on my 272 when this happened. Same issues as your having now. I have 3 switches under my rear bench that control power to trim pumps, tabs, and engines they are just rocker switches, but are breakers if these blow I don't have any power to these things. I've had a issue with them blowing lately and don't know why. Just reset and you have power.

Did you ever find the problem ?

Not yet. I got the hatch open last night by short wiring it. But I've been out of town all week on business. I hope to work on it this weekend.

I straight wired the hatch to get it up. There is a circuit breaker on each engine was tripped. I now have both engines where they will start. Now I just have to find out what made them trip. I'm going to replace the battery switch first. That is one of the common links between the engines. The starboard switch runs both ignitions, so if the switch has a bad contact or something that could have tripped the breakers.

Sometimes not using a boat for a long time the
connection on switchs and circuit breakers get
a little corrosion on them from sitting a long time
and when u put power to them for the first time
it may cause that problem. When mine are not used
for more then 30 days or so the trim switch doesnt
work rite until I spray it then theres no problem.

Steel,

Sorry I am not much of a source for wiring issues. I would not want to steer you wrong? Sea Ray needs to release the electrical drawings to us, for this type of questions!

Jeff did you ever resolve this issue?

I think so, I replaced the battery switch and everything seems to be working now.

I wish I would have reread this thread the other week since I couldn't get any power from my batteries. We tested the relay switch and wasn't getting anything from it so we took it out and when we did we saw the plastic arm in the down position and after putting it back and wiring it back up we had power. There was no way I could see that arm sticking down since the relay switch is under the seat and you have to stand on your head to see things.

Good to see you are back up and running. Hope to see you guys in Knoxville for the run this year.

We are going to be on vacation that week, so we will not be able to make it this year.
