Took the boat to Norris Lake for some fishing and tubing with the kids and grandkids. Got the boat packed and started to blowup the tube with the 12 volt jack on the dash board. The motor started to work, then stopped.
Looked under the dash and found the fuse to the 12 volt jack had blown. It was a 7.5 amp fuse. Put another one in, and it blew too.
Carried the tube up the hill, whew!, and blew it up with the car 12 volt jack with no problem. Had to repeat the process with the car each day. The blower worked fine on my Hyundai Santa Fe and my daughter's Honda Oddesey.
Went to Advanced Auto to get bigger fuses, but the guy at the counter said that 7.5 should be sufficient for a 12 volt accessary jack. Not wanting to burn up any wiring, I have not yet replaced the fuse until I can get a more reliable answer.
I hate to haul the boat the 45 miles round trip to the dealer for something I am able to do easily.
Any thoughts or similar experiences?
