- 4.3L Mercruiser, Alpha outdrive
My 2005 185 with 4.3L engine gave me some trouble over the weekend. I was throttling back to neutral to pick up a skier when the motor suddenly died. The blower was still working but the motor would not turn over when turning the key. The reset on the engine was not tripped but the ignition fuse was blown under the dash. I replaced it and it immediately blew the new one when I tried to start the motor. I tried to just bridge across the fuse so I could get back to the house but the engine would just crank and not start (I didn't do it more than a few seconds and gave up). Well, I had to get towed back in to shore and brought the boat home. Our only boat repair shop in town is booked for the next 5-6 weeks.
Any ideas where to look for the problem so I can try to fix it myself?
Thanks.
