I've installed a new Optima battery in my boat and it's been tested to verify it is at full charge. The connections are good but I get no activity what so ever when I use the power trim buttons either on the motor, on the throttle or in the front of the boat. When I turn the key, there is no sound whatsoever which makes it seem like there is a short somewhere. I called my local Evinrude Dealer and they think that I just popped a fuse. The problem is I'm not sure where the fuses are located. I'm assuming that they are in-line fuses somewhere under the cowling but can someone help me figure out where to look? It is a 1999 model year FICHT I believe.

Im no expert but im working on the same problems myself right now and Ill share what ive found. theres a 20 amp fuse right beside the starter in a rubber grommet. theres also a 2 amp fuse in the relay box near the battery, it will have a plastic cover that screws down closed. I too just bought a boat and found both these fuses to be cracked. If you find any more please let me know since i too am trying to start my boat. Hope i helped, and gl
Maybe the nature of the fuse I'm looking for is different from my expectation that it would look like an in-line auto fuse. When I look near the starter motor, I see the wiring harness and connectors but I'm not seeing any fuses that I can replace. If I'm looking at the motor from inside the boat, the starter is to the right side of the engine.
you wont be able to see the fuse, its concealed in a black rubber grommet. Look to the right side of the starter, there will be 2 black lines running to a black rubber connection, open that up and inside it will be the fuse, prob a 20 amp. the rubber grommet will probably been held secure to the motor by a metal clip or holder of some kind, gl

HighTrim is mistaken as he is describing the fuse that is used in a carbureted outboard. You have a FICHT motor which is a completely different animal.
Your fuses are in the Power Distribution Panel on the starboard side of the motor. It is a black plastic cover that has two silver screws holding it on. You can use a dime to loosen the screws. There are 7 mini-blade fuses in there, all 10 amp.
