I have a 1990 Tracker Magna 17 with an Evinrude 110. Took it out fishing two weeks ago and after putting it on trailor and turning off the ignition the motor kept running. So I pulled out the sagety lanyard kill and it still kept running. I eventually pulled the gas line off and let it run out of fuel to get it to shut-off. I figured something was crossed on the ignition so I took the throttle handle off to get to the ign. switch. When I took it off two screws fell out. I looked and one of the wires from the safety cut-off was just hanging there and another wire to the ign. switch was loose and the screw had come loose. Before I realized they were loose they bith hit the metal on the throttle and sparked just a little. I got them put back on and everythin back together but now I have nothing. I have 12 volts going to the fuse panel and across all the fuses but it is completely dead at the ign switch. Won't even turn over and shows no elec. signal. Is there a fuse somewhere else that could cause this or a circuit breaker of some sort on the boat that could be tripped? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Normally there is also a main fuse on the engine itself. It's usually situated close to the flywheel in a rubber type connector.

and...it should be a 20 amp....looks kind of like a suppository..LOL
Thanks for all the info. Checked the motor and finally found the "suppository" and the fuse was blown. Replaced the fuse and put everything back together and worked just fine. Took it out this weekend for some fishing and tubing and made both my little girls very happy. Thanks again
