Electrical System Overload Protection
!
CAUTION
Failure to protect wiring with an appropriate fuse can damage the wiring and start a fire. When installing any accessories, we
recommend using a Mercury accessory kit. Always use the appropriate fuse to protect wiring.
Fuses
Fuses protect individual circuits from an overload. If an electrical overload occurs, a fuse will burn out. Find and correct the
cause for the electrical overload before replacing the fuse. Always replace a burned out fuse with a fuse that is the same
current rating. Never install a higher current rated fuse.
Identifying a burned out fuse
a - Good fuse
b - Burned out fuse
Two fuses are located on the engine. To access these fuses, remove the two screws securing the engine control module cover.
Be certain to replace an open fuse only with one of the same current rating.
The remaining fuses are located in the vessel adapter assembly (refer to your boat owner's manual for location) and on the rear
side of the control unit of the individual instrumentation.
Engine control module
a - 25‑amp fuse
b - 15‑amp fuse
