Message: <blockquote data-quote="airshot" data-source="post: 499891" data-attributes="member: 1183"><p>Went to go for a ride today and found a pair of wires pinched and stripped of insulation from the power tilt/trim.   The bare wires touched and shorted.  Went vack home and cut back the frayed section and made new connections to check things out.  The 20 amp fuse was blown under the cowl, bought some new ones and the trim works once again, but the fuse blew each time I turned over the starter.  Removed the plugs to look at each piston go up and down.  The motor will turn over a couple times with plugs removed, but once you stop and try to turn it over again, the fuse blows right away.  this motor is in mint condituon, like new stored inside its whole life.  Has always ran perfect and been well maintained.  I am not an electrician, but do understand basic electricity.  When the wires shorted out, did this affect the starter or should I be looking at other things ???  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.</p></blockquote><p></p>
