I have a 2012 250 Pro XS that has started blowing the 20 amp fuse on the motor. Replace it it will start then dies. Check fuse it is blown. Replace start the dies blown fuse. It is the one toward the front of motor. Started all of a sudden after a day of fishing. Started all of a sudden. Any ideas what or where to look for a cause? Thanks
You need to provide your serial number as per forum rules.
My buddies motor as done that a few times and it’s been a bad coil according to him.
^^^^^ very likely bad coil

Sorry didn't have the boat near to get it. I will update my post as soon as I can get to the boat. Thanks
X3 on a coil & most likely the cause. Look for one that looks slightly distorted. They sometimes blow the packing out around the top as well.
Yep ditto bad coil. Look for a crack in one of your coils. You will find white puffy material seeping out.

As suggested, I'd be looking at the ignition coils and harness, as well as wiring for fuel pumps, injectors and direct injectors. Precise circuit depends on the fuse number (and wire colors attached to that fuse).
