I have a 2009 Tracker Grizzly 1754 with a 60 hp mercury motor. I was trying to get the 12 volt socket to work and was messing around with wires underneath the console and when the two touched, they sparked. Now my ignition and my tilt and trim don't work. I was thinking I blew a fuse but I looked at the ones on the console, under the console, and by the battery and they all look good. What else could the problem be? Also, the bilge pumps and the navigation lights still work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is there a fuse by the battery before you get to the fuse box? are the devices that don't work on a separate fuse panel. I hate electrical problems.

Yeah, I checked the fuses by the battery and look good. I am assuming the ones by the battery would need to be good for the bilge and lights to work. Also, I checked the fuse on the side of the motor and it was good. I've only found one fuse on the motor, should there be more?

Ok, found the fuse box on the motor and found a blown fuse. Thanks.
