    Mercruiser 90A Fuse Blown

    It sounds like you're approach is very similar to mine, perhaps a little better, because I have an additional six feet of 8 AWG wire between the fuse and the alternator, and you used "heavy red". But I believe that's within the spec of 8 AWG wire. I think it's actually better this way because...
