I have a 1987 evinrude 9.9 E10ECUE. I have a two prong push start button with a hot wire running from the starter to the switch and a hot wire from the other side of the switch to the battery, then the ground from the motor straight to the battery. Tied into the hot wire from the switch to the battery i have an in-line fuse. i tried to start it with a 20 fuse as soon as it started to turn it blew the fuse, so i tried a 25 fuse and the same thing. did i wire things up wrong? why does it keep blowing the fuse? I also have 12 gauge wire run, should i have used 10 gauge?
