It's an in-line 10 amp fuse (not sure if that's correct size) that runs to the starter solenoid.
It starts the first time and then after running and shutting off, it won't restart --fuse is blown.
Serial # :OT497510 2002 EH.

Thanks!

If this is your model http://www.crowleymarine.com/mercury-outboard/parts/3236_30.cfm
,It requres a twenty amp fuse.
I think all the models require twenty amp. http://www.crowleymarine.com/parts.cfm

Had that same issue; turned out to be loose wire connections on the barrel clip that houses the fuse. Welcome to the forums!

Hoping that it's just an undersized fuse. I've been told that it should be a 20 amp instead of 10.
Thanks for your help!
