Electrical System Overload Protection
An electrical overload will either fail a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. You must find and repair
the source of the overload before replacing the fuse or resetting the circuit breaker.
NOTE: In an emergency, when you must operate the engine but cannot isolate the cause
for the high current draw, turn off or disconnect all accessories connected to the engine
and instrumentation wiring. Reset the circuit breaker. If the breaker remains open, you have
not eliminated the electrical overload and the electrical system requires further checks.
Contact your authorized Mercury MerCruiser dealer.
A circuit breaker protect the engine wiring harness and the instrumentation power lead. To
test the circuit breaker, push the red button. If the circuit breaker is functioning properly,
the yellow lever will appear. Reset the breaker by pushing the yellow lever back into the
housing.
