1998 bayliner boat with electric problems?
I have 1998 bayliner serenity with 3.0 L. , it keep blowing the 15 amp ignition fuse it will run for a few minutes sometimes then blow fuse. It might blow several before it will start again it seems to get worse when it gets hot. Earlier this summer the igintion module went bad I, put a new automotive module on , is this the same as marine could this be part of my problems? When engine is running it runs rough, it ran fine before the module went bad. Do i have multiple problems?
what is the proper timing procedure for the 3.0 L engine

I had to think a few seconds…….Get the marine module……….but it sounds like an electrical problem, and it night have caused the old module to fail. They don’t like extraneous spark…..think shorts. So, it’s a wiring or component failure. These are often hard to find. Start at the Battery terminals, looking for corroded wires and bad connections, then go to each sender on the engine to make sure wires are well insulated. Then go to the dash panel…….look at any added equipment wires, for things like bilge pumps and GPS units…….If you can isolate the problem it’s easier to find but the blown fuses are a good indicator. Unplug the module or you risk blowing it.
Now all marine mechanics are good at this type problem, but some are really good, find them.
