Lost all power on 2001 Rinker Captiva.5.0 Mercruiser Thunderbolt V

[Kriswilliam2400]

I have a 2001 Rinker Captiva 212 I/O...mercruiser 5.0 Thunderbolt V...I just had the carb rebuilt and fuel pump replaced..I took the boat out and ran for about ten minutes...got up to 3000 rpm and lost all power....I have a 25 amp fuse that goes from the battery terminal to the front of the boat that keeps blowing...I took the dash
out and if I unplugged the connector that goes to the ingition switch and turned on the battery.. I have power to trim motor,blower,bilge,horn....no gauge lights and engine will not turn over....Any suggestions?..It was like I hit the kill switch....maybe something grounded out?

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,... My guess is a wire was knocked loose, 'n now there's a dead short in the ignition circuit...

I'd be lookin' where the work was Just done...
