| Post subject: | shorted Positve battery wire |
I need help, I was rushing to get my boat in the water for early goose season tomorrow morning and I pinched the red battery wire and did not see it till I was at the launch. I have a prodrive 36 hp motor and now it dose nothing after I replace the battery cable. Is there a main fuse or could it just be the battery? Did I smoke all the electrics? Can anyone shed some light so I might be able to get the boat in the water tomorrow. Any help is appreciated. Of course 5 geese have to fly over as I am leaving the launch Thanks |

There should be a fuse close to the battery, and up by the starter... Hopefully its something simple, thats why we use fuses. |

I checked for a fuse and have not found any I guess I will try a new battery next and I hope that is it. Figures it has to happen the nigh before hunting but never did it all bow fishing season. Thanks for the help guys |

There is a Buss fuse in it required for starting- behind the handle. If you crossed the battery cables then watch your voltage regulator- they will fry. |

well I checked it all out and fried the battery, replaced the cable and put it all back together. I put a few miles on it in the river today and it all seems good again. I still was able to get a couple geese by the old fashion paddling but it is no where close to the mud motor. Thanks for all the help and tips, now back to shooting geese tomorrow! |
