Resetting Fireboy Suppression System

[MrDough]

One of the turbo exhaust manifolds clamp decided to snap on my 460 Express Cruiser causing smoke to shoot all into my engine bay. It then activated the Fireboy suppression system turning off both engines while going full speed :wow: (imagine my surprise). I've refilled the suppression canister and verified that the sensor on the tank that tells whether it's full or not is working like it should. I've checked everything else and no damage to the engines or anything else.

I've tried turning on the engines and it would only crank but not fire so I checked the filters and everything like most people would and they looked all okay. I noticed that fuel was not being pumped though so I assumed (correctly) that there must be something else that must be reset on the Fireboy (my Detroit 6v71TT do not have dampers).

After pulling my hair for days trying to figure it out I threw in the towel and had a pro fix it which he did. He went on vacation shortly after and won't be back in a while. He said he reset some breakers and that caused it to work again. Does anyone know what breakers he is talking about? I will ask him when he returns but just in case he decides to hide his trade secrets :smt101, I would like to know what you guys think. Thanks

I don't have an exact answer for your boat. However, check this link out and I think you will be able to find what he reset. When the system trips it kills fuel delivery as you found out and leaves the relay in that position requiring a manual reset.
