Problem resolved. It was the orange wire from the 90amp fuse to the alternator. It rubbed against a bolt wearing down the insulation. I was surprised that only about 1/3 of the actual wire was left. Had to splice-in a marine grade (water proof) butt connector and wrap with conveluted tubing...

I will look at that. The bout was running (out on the lake) and just shut down as if I flipped off the run switch. All power to boat was lost and the instrument panel froze. Already changed the 90amp fuse once. Just odd that no warning from smartcraft and boat just stopped running. Batteries are...

Thank you for suggestions. I will be looking at the wiring diagrams and also looking at the battery switch. I am wondering if the problem might be there. When the battery switch is turned to the off position, I am still able to lower the drive - it never did this before. I always had to turn the...
The 90 AMP fuse at the starter blew while out on the lake. Boat just shut down and there was no power to the instrument panel. Replaced the fuse, batteries reconnected and when the battery switch was turned on to one of the batteries, the fuse blew again (pop sound at starter). The batteries are...
I changed the 90 Amp Fuse, connected batteries and when I turned the switch to one of the batteries I heard a pop down by the starter/fuse and I have no power to the instrument panel. Any ideas what could be happening? Maybe bad batteries?

Thanks for the suggestion though. I looked again and there is nothing like this on the boat. I will take a try at it myself, but also call the dealer on Monday to see what's involved with them doing it. Thanks
There is no battery breaker on the 240SD.I checked as many fuses as I could except the 90amp fuse at the starter. I'm not sure how to get to it - there seems to be no room or I will have to lay on top of the engine and hang down to the starter but I am not sure if that is best to do. I am sure a...
Both batteries at 12V. Power trim works on either battery, and when the battery switch is turned to the off position. Not sure what the best way to get to the fuse on the starter is. Do you know if this is something that has to go to the dealer?
Thanks, I will check it out. Got to figure how to get down to the starter (not much room). Would a bad or low battery cause this problem while the engine is running? Also while checking fuses, noticed that the fuse box is very loose, so thinking that maybe this cause an short or something - just...
I have a 240SD. Was out on the lake and loss power (similar to turnng off the run switch). Batteries switch is turned to off position and the Power Trim still works. All gages are frozen and there is no electrical to the rest of the boat when battery switch is turned to on position. Pushed...
