I'm looking for some help if anyone knows where the red/black power wire that feeds the in-dash circuit breaker comes from? I was using a booster pack to start my boat last weekend and I had an issue afterward where I lost all ignition power. I've been troubleshooting and I have no 12v power coming to this dash (push in style) breaker, when I provide temp power from the battery to the other side of the breaker the ignition works.

I've tried to trace this red/black wire out but no luck yet, anyone know??

there is a 30 anp fuse on the starter that carries voltage to the 50 amp reset breaker on top of the engine, the ignition wires come from the engine wiring harness and carried through the cannon plug wiring to the dash.

Edit: disregard this, I thought you were talking about the key switch

F-2, you may still be on the right track... If the boat was jumped, it is wholly possible that the 90A fuse at the starter popped. That would kill all power to the dash and accessories (other than those wired directly to the battery) - This is still the best place to begin.

I agree.

i've seen people trying to start engines with dead / near dead batteries pop that fuse. Without jump starting. Starters hate dead batteries, Some get lucky and just pop the breaker.

Yup, batteries were left on and it rained like hell for a week and the sump ran the batteries all the way down.. I still have power at the dash for accessories like the horn, radio, lights, etc.. I'll check the 90A fuse at the starter.

Thank you..

And can be a ***** to access on some boats. Good luck.

Well definitely not easy to access on my 25 Outlaw, there are coolant lines running directly in front of the starter fuse. I was able to put my finger on the button but it won't push in, I'm presuming it pops out when it's tripped?
