Hi, I am in the final stages of building my boat and I am hooking up the battery cables (ignition off) and it sparks (alot) and then when I go to crank her over it is dead. I check the 90 amp fuse and it is blown. I check all the connections and I find a loose ground on the alternator. Could this cause a short big enough to make the fuse blow? What else could be the problem. I followed the wiring diagrams to the "T". My engine is a 305 1999 with a carborator, thunderbolt iv ignition.<br /><br />thanks for any help!<br /><br />Mike
