radio does not work

[danielcasey01]

I just bought a 2008 SX 230. I have had prop driven boats in the past so there is certainly a learning curve. The radio and horn do not work and was curious if there is an inline fuse and/or the location of the fuse box. Any help is greatly appreciated!

It's normal for the horn to not work on our boats. Some have replaced with the same model horn and they just don't last long. As far as the radio, I believe that there is an inline fuse in the wiring behind the unit if it is original. You can access from the helm door or take the 4 screws out and pull the radio out and see.

Thank you! Will try that. Do you happen to know where the fusebox is located?

Fuses are located on the back wall of the engine bay. Check out page 4-15

don't forget about the circuit breaker on the dash. Mine was right under the horn switch. I had to use something other than my finger to reset it.

 

[danielcasey01]

what kind of tool did you use to reset the dash circuit breakers? thank you for you help!

I just used a blunt object that would not tear the rubber. Phillips with some tape over is what I used at the time. It was our first day with the new boat and had a safety inspection.
