No Power

Hey People. I just rebuilt my Merc 350 in a Bayliner 2750 Victoria (27Ft.) It ran great. I went to launch it to test it out and as I was adjusting the idle my screwdriver touched the coil and I assumed shorted it out. I lost all power completley. My battery gauge doesnt even work when the key it in Run. Its just like the battery selector switch is all Off. <br />I assume I blew a fuse or burnt a wire. What are typical fuse box placements? Mine are behind the Dash Board accessable via the Head. Is it possile that there are bigger/alternate fuses somewhere else on the boat I might have overlooked? I dont think there are because the engine is an oldschool chevy 350. All mechanical, no fancy electronics.

Re: No Power

Take a look near the battery. It is common to have 2 wires off the positive terminal. The first and heaviest is for the starter and goes to the engine.<br /><br />The second, and thinner goes to the guages and fuse block. It should have an inline fuse near the battery. Check it.
