Yeah, I did. Until it was running out the upper vent hole.

That's alright. The mechanic fairies came last night and lined everything up, while I was sleeping. Went out and looked at it, started tightening it up and everything went together and worked. What I don't get is I only drained a little over a quart from the drive and it only took about a quart. I ...

Crap! Took my lower drive unit off to change the impeller and now I can't get it back on all the way. Not sure if the drive shaft is hitting or that little shifter gear tube fell down a little and is out of line. 1986 Alpha One on 17BR. Frustrated, tried to put it on and off half a dozen times or ...

I did find out there is no fuse box, but all the electrics work except now my auxillary switch isn't working to my fish finder/depth gauge. Weird. Lol.

Went to start checking out the helm, decided to mess with the shifter and jiggled it. Turned the key and whalaa ...

Battery switch on 1986 17 BR? Is there such a thing and where is it? Boat has power, just none getting to the instrument panel and ignition switch. Any ideas?

I checked the wires going into the switch and no juice. None of the breakers are blown that I can see. The one little fuse under the instrument panel is ok.

1986 17BR, no power to key/ignition switch. Touched all the wires with a multimeter and nothing. Radio/stereo and trim both work. Where to start before I begin to rip things apart?

Drove my 1986 17BR home. Now I have no power to my key/ignition switch. Little fuse not blown and can't find a wiring diagram large enough to read. Any ideas as to why no power. Radio works and trailer /trim works.
