Too dumb to be working on mechanical stuff. Hot and tired and dead battery, I hooked up a portable charger to the battery to get 1990 4.3 OMC started, pulled boat out of water and charger was left on for a couple of hours until we got the boat home and noticed my stupidity. Battery then took a proper charge and seems to be OK, trim works, but everything else is dead. No blown fuses on fuse panel. Any suggestions what to look for? |

My best guess is the helm circuit breaker which is usually a red button in the engine compartment. |

Thanks for the tip. Any hints where it might be. 1990 Four Winns Horizon 180. Looked in the obvious places. |

Mine is on the left hand side of the engine if I am inside the boat. |

some boats have 2 fuse panels, one under cockpit, another in engine compartment, be sure to check both... my old '95 FW never had a helm reset button, I think these are only on newer FW boats... borrow another battery from a friend and try it... just because it can move your trim doesn't mean it will crank... after you abused the battery in such a way it is definitely now suspect... can you hear your fuel pump running when you turn the key to run (without starting)? |

It's your main circuit breaker, usually located near the engine and battery. |

Push the red button... Then go out and purchase a "smart" charger so that can't happen. http://batterytender.com/products |
