Hello iboats friends.

Hooking up my 18hp 4 stroke today for a trip this weekend and go to push the starter and nothing? No click, no nothing. Battery is good, checked. Then I remember that when I was putting the wires on the battery posts, I accidentally touched the neg and pos on the wrong battery posts. It was only for a split second, the wire just brushed the post and it sparked. So, I must of fried something yes? Is there a fuse or anything I could check? Where has the circuit broken?

Thanks so much for the help!

You probably blew the fuse. Four-strokes have yellow fuse holders. Should be a spare in the holder.
