Just bought this boat brand new. Never even had it in the water yet. I was moving it in my yard today, went to trim the motor up, it moved for a split second and then blew the #3 10 amp fuse.
The boat has an extra trim switch at the bow near the trolling motor. It’s been raining every day for like a month and the cover is not perfectly sealed there so I’m thinking maybe some water got into or behind that switch and blew the fuse? Isolated incident? Bad luck?
Is there something else I can look at? Everything seems to work fine after changing the fuse but I really don’t want it to happen again. I also don’t want to hand this thing back to the dealer and lose weeks of my season.
