I have a 1994 3.0 mercruiser in a 175 bayliner. Started with not having a tach in the console just a broken speedometer. So I decided to add one in place of the speedometer. Changed it worked great so decided to test the next day on the water and didn't work at all. So while the engine was running i checked under the dash to see if anything had came loose and touched two of the wires together on accident while trying to tighten the purple wire and had a small spark. The engine shut off and I lost power to the dash and the ignition. The tilt\trim, lights, bilge, radio, horn, blower everything works fine. Checked the starter also has power, so we checked the fuses under the dash and found a 20A blade fuse blown so changed it out still nothing. My buddie pulled it out and put it back in not sure if its in the right place. Also the 50Amp circuit breaker is corroded where it cannot be reset. Anybody know what my problem is.
Also checked at my local Mercruiser store for the 50A circuit breaker and it's $90 do I have to have that specific breaker or will any marine rated breaker work?
