Reverse Polarity Shorts Out Nissan Outboard

[SailingDan]

I was rushing for a sunset sail and stupidly did a reverse polarity hook up attempt to my battery. Now I have no juice whatsoever going to my engine or tilt. Its a '96 Nissan 40D and the service manual indicates there is a 20amp fuse somewhere and possibly a "breaker" but I can't find it. Currently think it may be in the engine control box but have an uncooperating screw. Anybody have experience with this gross mistake and its solution?

Hope this can help

Dan, that fuse should be located on the back of the engine. I know on OMC engines it is an in-line fuse with a rubber housing. You should be able to find where it is located in a tech manual. Go to nissanmarine.com you may be able to downlaod a spare parts or tech manual. Good luck!
