I have a 1985 SR Sundancer 260, can someone tell me where I can find the fuse block??
 
That was the first place I looked, but found nothing but the wires for gauges, which is hy I posted here, but I do thank you for the reply, I'll keep hunting. :)
 
Aren't the fuses right above your switches on the dash?
 
CWS63, is there a specific circuit or a group of fuses that you are looking for? There are a couple locations to suggest based on what you are working on.

yes, but I'm confused as to is that all? shouldn't there be more. Anyway, no I have a new concern, I can start up the boat, and it runs, but when I turn the ignition off it stays running?!?
 
usually its a sign of a bad alt backfeeding the ign system. Your aly most likely is a 3 wire so unhook the 2 small wires to see it the motor stops. Pull the coil wire DO NOT TRY TO TURN THE BATTERY SWITCH TO OFF

There should never be more than one fuse per circuit. What's on your dash are real fuses - did you pull one out to look at it? Just because they're on the dash, doesn't mean they're any different than if they were behind the dash.

thank you for the reply, yes I did read on another post that pulling the battery off, you can damage the alternator, thank you again.
