My Searay 180 Bowrider 3.0 Mercruiser blows the ignition circuit fuse

What's the problem?

I understand from the dealer that there is a switch in the ignition
circuit connected to the gear linkage that momentarily interrupts the
ignition circuit to allow for easier shifting, and that this switch has
a very sensitive adjustment.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ken

We are having the same problem with our 1998 Bowrider. Blew 20 fuses
and still had to paddle to shore last weekend. Problem started last
year and appears to happen when motor is warm/hot.

Still no answers or diagrams which help. Seems like when I put in
gear it dies.

Keeping lots of fuses on had and trying to have fun,

Calling the dealer this week. Let me know if anyone finds out
anything.
