Yamaha 2012 limited electrical issue

[Raindude]

Hi all, I was trying to wire my gps power into the +/- of the radio. I accidentally touched them together and the radio went out. Ok, so I then noticed my blower and everything else was not working. I then started the boat,, no issue. I checked both sets of fuses that seem fine. So, does anyone know if there is another master power relay/fuse I should check??? Read about a 20 amp fuse in the battery compartment for accessories but think that since I got power out of my fuses and the manual speaks to this, then that is not the issue. Thanks so much,,,Ray

When you say you checked both sets of fuses, what fuses are you saying you checked?

It's never a good idea to tap into another power source of one device to "piggyback" power and ground for another device. Distribution blocks being the exception of course.

Scrap that,, sure enough, went back to the manual and saw the ‘tip’ where it mentions the accessory fuse in the battery compartment,,,, viola,, tres bien,, replaced and problem solved. Sorry for the false alarm but hope it may help others. Ray

Bad habit from when I was a kid installing car stereos and equalizers. Lol

In the engine compartment, on the back transon behind each engine, there is a screw cap that has 5 fuses and spares. The 20s are for accessories, there is a 30, a couple of 5 and a 10 I think...
