2002 SX

Hi Folks, I just had a new stereo installed and added 2 new batteries.  Stereo works great.  the guy wired it hot off the wrong key position.  Now the whole boat is dead accept what is wired direct to the battery isolation/Perko switch. Some items work, like the dash switch for the hatch open piston. It will click but not function the piston. Bilge pump switch will also light up but no pump???

engine has no power.  Fuel pump primer button does not work. engine won't crank at all.

I checked the safety cut off and the throttle is in neutral.

Any suggestions?  My old X22 has a master fuse.  Is there a master fuse for the SX??

It's going back to the Marine Stereo shop today, I wanted to offer suggestions for him.

Thanks,

Joel

Funny. It was the main fuse. They blew it while installing the stereo. Funny thing was that rather than fix it they just wired the stereo hot off the battery!  Nice job!  NOT!!

Well they got to fix it for free anyhow.

At least it was a minor problem and now I know where the master fuse is!

Thanks Rick!
