Please HELP!
I have had a mechanic working on my boat for hours and hours.
He determined that starter wire in harness was shorting and not giving constant power.
He now has wired in a complete new ignition wire from ignition straight to starter as well as a new wire from command bridge that is tapped into new wire from main down below
Originally he told me my solenoid was hooped so we replaced with new one
He could fire up the boat with a jump directly from battery after replacing solenoid
After we ran new wiring the boat had started but he had some foil around the fuse
We tried to start the engine after putting in 15 amp fuse andit started.
He tells me that we have bypassed a safety howerever that allows boat to start while in gear and after hours of painfull diagnosis , i am just happy we got it started
Next day before hiring boat move , i wanted to see if all is good
Once again, cranking seems to be week and motor then blows fuse.
I replaced fuse , and now soon as i turn the key on, it will blow fuse again
With a wire run directly from ignition to starter, he cant figure out what could be the problem.
I am no mechanic but, after replacing solenoid, shop that did it did a so called bench test with a piece of wood trying to stop starter and it had good resistence he said.
Once again mechanic at boat said starter should be fine because when he jumped it direct to battery it had full cranking and started right away
Please any suggestions would be helpfull!
Thank you in advance
PS. It is a 2958 Bayliner command Bridge with 305 gm OMC
