My 2000 75HP 4 stroke Merc stopped as I was heading back from crabbing last saturday:(. The enging was running at around 3000rpm when it stopped. The engine was smoking and there was a nasty electrical smell. Couldn't restart, no ignition, Power tilt or anything... dead as a doornail. Other electricals are fine. Can turn engine with manual rope so not seized up. Any clues?? Thanks folks!
 
sounds like you shorted something out. Look closely at your wires, follow them in from the battery, check all your connections carefully. Do a spark test too, see if any juice is getting to your plugs. When you say other electricals are fine, you mean lights and horn and stuff, right? those wouldnt go through your engine but at least your battery is fine.
 
sounds like your motor main fuze has blown out, due to a short on you motor, do as emac said, and then change out the fuze.
