Location of starter fuse, Mercury 25 Hp 2 stroke long shaft

[Muskyhunter]

The other day a buddy offered to carry my newly charged marine battery down to my boat from the camp. Before I got down to the dock, he hooked up the electric started wires onto the wrong terminals on the battery. The electric start no longer works on the outboard but I can still start it with the pull cord.

I think (hope) it just blew the starter fuse. Does anyone have any idea where to find this fuse under the cowling? I checked a manual online. It says it is a 20 amp but does not shown the location.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mr Google knows all in most cases. I just did a quick search and all kinds of ideas, near the solenoid or it could be close to battery. It even had a picture of what it looks like. Didn't look like a normal fuse. Not being a smart a##, good luck Hope it helps.

On my boat (not a tiller) it is near the starting battery. has a small transparent case with a round coil inside. There is another fuse 20A with reset button, this one is for console -navlights bilge etc. - mine had corroded and I had to replace it.
For the starter fuse the replacement coil is only $12 or something on amazon

Thanks Lads.

I pulled the boat out of the water for the season so I will tackle it in the driveway where it doesn't matter if I drop something as much as over the water.

Thanks for the feedback.
