I think I bought a real winner. Previous post was regards to lower unit with no oil and destroyed it. I got the new lower unit in and took it out to the lake for a weekend. The first day had no issues. The second day half way through I started having issues with it blowing fuses every time I took it out to run the limb lines. The motor ran like a champ all weekend except the fuse issue. I noticed that I lost tilt / trim at the forward controls when the fuse was blown. The motor kept running till I shut it off. I would then replace the fuse start it up and run the lines again. By the time i got back, I had another blown fuse. I went through 5 fuses that I happened to have on hand. I tried not using any accessory power on two runs no difference. I have since done research on the web and the best I can gather is there is short some where in the tilt / trim wires? Should be a fairly easy job to replace wires from the motor to the forward controls. The only other weird thing I noticed is my Lowrance 5 fish finder was registering anywhere from 13 to 16 amps depending on my motor rpms. Could I have an undersized battery that is blowing fuses? Some advice would be helpul before I go and replace wires till I find a short.
