2006 Seadoo challenger 180

Hello all. I just purchased this boat and the horn and radio do not work. I inspected the fuses by the driver seat and found the accessories fuse was blown. When I replaced it. It immediately blew. So I know I have short somewhere. I was hoping someone could help me identify where to look to find the short. Is there a common place to look? Where do I trace the wires? Thank you

Also gas gauge isn’t working. Is there any common denominator for that? Thank you

Anyone got any ideas? Thank you

I have a 2008 Challenger & my horn was not working but the fuse replacement fixed that. I’m not electrician so cannot advise but an auto electrician should be able to trace. The wiring is difficult to get to on these boats and might benefit from just rerunning the faulty wire.
