I was changing the cap/rotor on the STBD engine, and while removing one of the ECM bolts (which is right under the 50 AMP breaker), some sparks flew off the wrench and then they stopped. (Ignition keys were off but battery switches were not.)
I completed the cap/rotor replacement, but when I went to start the engine, I got a bunch of errors on the Vessel View (low voltage, non-critical steering error, stbd start sequence), and the engine wouldn't even try to turn over. I didn't even hear a "click."
The 50 AMP breaker was not reset by the sparks (it seems); for good measure, I tested it and locked it back in, but still nothing.
The VesselView is displaying STBD engine data, so that makes me think some kind of power is getting to it for the ECM to be reporting such data. (When the STBD key is off and port is on, the pressure/temp/voltage display as hyphens.)
It's as if there is another fuse somewhere (possibly that 90 AMP on the slave solenoid?), or more likely, the silly VesselView needs its codes reset by the Merc software and everything will be fine.
Any obvious ideas before I go calling a the mechanic?
