Okay guys need help number 310 amp fuse keeps blowing. .I have disconnected rpm/hour gauge,, tilt ,trim switch on shifter... still blows... I can run motor at high rpm or running in plane w no problem..once I run at idle speed it blows,, also will blow w switch turned on while motor is sitting ? basically I run from one spot to another w no problem then soon as I get off plane I turn problem motor off .. at first motor will not blow fuse then few minutes after being off fuse will blow ?

Look for a short in that circuit wiring,insulation on wiring worn.A DVM would come in handy and some electrical troubleshooting..

Unfortunately, the fuse controls a lot of stuff. See page 2-20 in the Helm Shop Manual. See the next page for the connections wiring diagram. First place I would look is inside your key switch for arcs or bad connections. I'm afraid you are in for a serious bug hunt.
