I have a 30 hp 2005 4 stroke EFI. The 20 amp main relay fuse is blowing as soon as you turn the key to the start position. We have tested the starter solenoid, main relay, wiring harness and everything seems OK.

I'm guessing I have a bad wire somewhere. My hunch is its in the tiller wiring from the push button stop or the lanyard switch. I have a habit of raising and lowering the tiller handle and I'm wondering if it possibly got pinched in the pivot point?

Any thoughts or ideas? It's been really frustrating. Most likely will be going in soon. If this only happened last April it would still be warrantied.
