I dropped aluminum air breather onto celinoid of 2000 5.7L Alpha Mercruiser and shorted out my electrical system, When I turn on the ignition, I get absolutely nothin! The instruments don't work, the starter does not engage, I have ZILCH. I replaced celinoid-nothing. I direct wired battery to starter (removed fuse)-nothing. I had circuit breaker (reset switch) checked-it was good. The battery is charged and good (I can run the motor tilt). No one has time to work on my boat even if I can manage to get it towed to boat ramp (boat is in boat slip right now). What do I do now? I have gueats coming for July 4th and I need this boat to run! Please, TFF experts, stand by me!!

sounds like there is another fuse link somewhere probably burned. A fuse link will look like a reular black wire but the insulation will feel different. The wire inside will burn into like a fuse. My apologies if you already knew this.

also check to see if your motor is grounded.
