how to check the fuses??

Stupid question but how do you check the fuses on these PWCs??
The box looks sealed and the clips don't seem to free it up...

Whats the Easiest way... do you remove all the electrical connections and then do it out of the Ski??

The box is sealed in the sense that it has a rubber gasket and snaps together in two halves. Release the clips that hold it to the hull. Then carefull press the tabs that hold the halves together and work the box open.

The fuses are standard automotive fuses. But they have the black rubber boots on them to keep out water. Here you can see two of them along with a spare fuse and cover on the left.


When closing it up, I use a plumbers grease or even the electrical grease to lube the gasket and make it easier to close as well as easier to open the next I need to get in there.

thanks... I was doing that but didn't know if there was an easier way...
I think i need more force...


Are all the fuses marked on what they are to?

All fuse box covers that I have seen have the instuction as where all the fuses and relays go to I am not sure about yours but I have not seen one yet that does not. Good luck Robin. ps A tight fit is good more water proof :cheers:
