motors run, guages work.
blower, bilge, lights and horn do not.
radio and vhf radio do not.
Got in boat and vhf worked, but when we launched it all didn't.
I am sure there is a fuse I don't know of!
 
there should be a fuse near your battery for the helm accessories. I believe it is a 20 amp fuse.
 
On the back panel of your engines is a screw off cover that houses most of the fuses for the main harness. You may have a fuse blown there or a series of the push button breakers tripped on the dash. Not exactly certain what you have as I am not entirely familiar with the older boats.
 
Post a photo of where it is when you find it as this comes up all the time!
 
Fuses in ecu's are good. Both have 20 and 3 amp fuses.
Don't see an in line 20 amp fuse from batteries due to perko switch.
 
The house wiring harness is most likely connected to the Perko switch in its entirety. A foot or so from the end where it would have connected to the battery there should be single fuse housing that screws to a panel. That fuse disconnects power to the entire house circuit. So it should be the culprit.
 
Next to the batteries on the wall should be a little rubber looking box. Inside should be, I think, a 20 amp fuse.
 
Did you reset your breakers? Or a loose connection behind the helm?
 
I agree with the guys above as to the main accessory fuse causing your issue @Speedling Here are a few pics of the main fuse holder. It's watertight, so it doesn't stand out like a regular fuse holder, and mine is actually secured to the boat with a screw.

Yup! Thats it! Found it!
tried to send a picture but family had to swim so we found a cove. Now we have no fuse till we get back so we will watch it a bit but already half over with this day anyways.

Thanks a million guys!
that help thing is freakin amazing. I doubt it is found anywhere else in the world.
 
First reply 2 minutes and @andy07sx230ho had the correct resolve to the problem. How many Yamaha dealerships can give you that kind of service? I think NONE.
 
Now, why did it blow?

My dealership manager and my salesperson gave me their cell numbers and encouraged me to call them on the weekends if I ran into problems.

But yes, stellar response times.
 
Now, why did it blow?
No Idea why it would blow. Had left vhf on all night. Turned it off when I got on the boat, bil backed it in, and I had no fan, radio etc.
Gonna figure it is a random fluke but won't know until I put a new fuse in.
 
Wouldn't it figure I go to 3 marinas and no fuse. Mini fuses and glass is all they have.
we just boated with a little extra ballast after some water gun wars
 
I have 3 spare 20 amp fuses here in the bus! Swing by and get one!
