The fuse to my power switch keeps blowing every time I replace it and turn on the power. I have no other switches turned on. Have taken off fuse box and everything inside looks ok. Anyone have any suggestions?

No, seriously, you need to disconnect things one at a time.

Its a short. Could be a short in the switch, or a short in the fuse holder,or a short in the wiring. Fuses are designed to blow when too many amps are drawn thru the circuit. You will have to check everything in the circuit until you find it. DO NOT put a higher rated fuse in the circuit, if you do, you could melt your wiring and start a fire.
Good luck.

problem solved. After taking everything apart and testing everything, with no luck, I decided to switch from starter battery to troll battery and everthing works fine. Never had a problem running on starter battery before. Oh well, as long as everything works, I guess I'll just use it on troll battery.
