- Engine kill switch blows Seatalk bus fuse?
- Sounds like you engine alternator is causing a spike through your system. The Seatalk is just "sensitive" to the spike.
- Maybe...
- The bottom line is that current
- I was thinking along those lines, but...
- I understand what you are saying but
- Makes sense to me. Spring launch and electrical corrosion go hand in hand.
- I gotta see a picture of it.. here's a try
- Extrapolating a bit more on this idea
- Not that simple
- The TACH is connected directly to the Alternator...
- Well yes but no. Sure sounds like I deserve a GOBI award though.
- Then take the ground to the Seatalk

- It soundlike a transient -- not continuous isse, Steve

- How about a fuel shutoff cable? Works without any possible failure.
- the hour-meter rewire did the trick
- Kill switch saga continues. Any electrical wizards reading?
