What a brainfart, I cant believe my grammer, must of been in a hurry. I just dodged raindrops and found that I have 12v to the one plug that goes into the electrical box in front of the boat.

I found the problem,,,for some strange reason,the 5 amp fuse in the front of the boat was blown. Like I said, it was raining,possibly something shorted out,,hard to believe on a jet ski. I looked at the fuse last nite,,but like I said,it was raining and getting dark,wanted to wait till today to investigate further. Oh by the way,,when I use the trim,the 12v low light comes on,,would this be normal even with a good stator and strong battery.The battery seems OK, possibly a bit weak,,starts boat OK.
