The other day I lost power in my starboard engine. So I limped back to dock on one engine. so I did the usual check and still no power. As the saying goes dead as a door nail. The manual said in power check the fuses. So I took the cap off and tried to pull the fuses with just my fingers no luck. Something made me look inside the cap and low and behold there was the white thingamigg. My brain went into gear and I realized it was to pull the fuse. So I pulled all the fuses to include the spare ones (at the time I did not realize they were spares) Anyway they all looked good to me but still the same result no power to the engine. So it was time to call in the mechanic. Of course the first thing he did was pulled the same fuses I had and yup one was bad. He replaced it with the corresponding spare and off we go. I told him I did the same thing but did not see a blown fuse. He was very nice and said he had younger eyes oh and he also told me the second bank were spares. As I said learn something knew everyday
