fusible link

[TerryDownour]

Is there a fusible link to a 50 horse power Honda? No power to gauges.....

If the motor runs but the gauges do not have any power, then power is getting to the key switch.

There is no "fusible link" that I know of.

If the gauge wiring harness is from Honda, then there is a 7.5 amp fuse in the harness on the black/yellow lead.

Since there is power to the key switch, then when the key switch is turned to on, there should be 12v applied to the black/yellow lead to the gauges. If it is a repower, using older existing gauges, then the black/yellow lead might be connected to a purple lead, going to the gauges.

You just have to trace the voltage from the switch. Could just be a bad connection.

Also...don't forget to check the ground wire going to the gauges.....in case of a broken lead or connection.

You did not say how old the motor is but a wiring diagram can be found in the back of the owner's manual. See page 104 http://cdn.powerequipment.honda.com/marine/pdf/manuals/31ZW4607.pdf
