1983 Mercury Mariner No Start/Electrical, 50 HP 2 stroke-Updated

[Marlin45/70]

Ok, please don't give me too much flak for this mistake I accidentally connected positive lead to negative battery post and when I touched the negative lead to the positive battery post I obviously got a lot of sparks! GRRRR!!! Now no electrical power seems to be going anywhere. Is there a fuse somewhere at the engine or in the ignition/throttle control? Or does anyone have any idea where to look to get power back? Would that have destroyed any ignition/electronic parts? I only touched the negative to positive for a split second so no wiring would have gotten hot enough to burn. 1983 Mercury Mariner Motor ID/Serial# 5222123. Any help is appreciated.

No such thing as a 1980 model 50 hp 4 stroke.--Need to post the correct information with pictures / serial #.
