    FUSE BOX?

    I have a 2019 Ranger 518L and I noticed my recirculating pump went out. Before replacing I want to check if a fuse blew but I can't locate a fuse box. I have used the bow and console terminal boards to wire in my graphs but never seen a fuse box. Could someone point me in the right direction or did they remove the fuse box and have resettable breakers now. Thanks in advance I don't want to replace the pump and find out it does not work because a fuse was out or a breaker needed to be reset.

    Did you look in the starboard storage box, against the wall nearest the console?

    Gotcha. I’d ask my dealer, who is open today: Knox Marine, 740-694-7774. They are a couple of states away from you but could be a future resource if you need parts. Great folks to deal with.

    After taking my dash apart and looking all over the boat and a call to the dealer I am surmising that this model does not have a fuse box. There maybe a reset switch I haven't found but other then that no fuse box is to be found. Let me know if anyone with a similiar model has found a fuse box or reset switches.

    I thought it would be in the console, I took off my graphs and mounts and the big plate and snooped around the whole area and no success. I will recheck compartment in front of day box again but no success so far. This is puzzling the poop out of me.

    I have a 2019 520L and could not find a fuse box either and I looked all over the boat.
    Based on the electrical diagram in the owners manual, I’m pretty sure there isn’t a fuse box.

    After spending hours of searching my boat I am convinced there is no fuse box and also I can't locate any resets other then the one for ignition and trolling motor. Console was taken apart and gone through I even ran my hands over compartment carpet thinking someone carpeted over a fuse box. One question bothers me the schematic shows each accessory and how many amps it pulls but no fuse box or circuit breakers other then the 2 mentioned so what is protecting the electronics?

    Yes ,on all the livewell and bilge pumps they have about a foot of wiring then they all plug into a main wire harness with no inline fuses in sight. That is what I don't understand I am unable to find any fuses other the electronics I installed or any circuit breaker other then the ignition and trolling motor breakers.

    There has to be a fuse panel for the boat. All of the lights and pumps are fused. It is either in the compartment directly forward of the console, or under the dash.

    I agree, I took off the panel for the console and looked in that area with none found and my dealer said it would be a black box with a cover and no box there. On the schematic for the L boats it only shows a 10 amp fuse which I seen but it was good. In front of console is the day box which is all gel and no box there in front of that is a compartment which I emapied and found no box I ran my hands over all the carpet thinking someone carpeted over it but no luck.

    Mine is in the day box closest to the console on the star board side tucked up under the floor when you open the lid. You practically have to put your head in the box and look up under the floor just to see the box and for sure with a flash light to check them. Stupidest place for fuse box I have seen as it does not make it easy to get to when you need to check them.

    I looked in the day box in front of console with a shop mirror and phone camera with no luck. I have another call into my dealer waiting for a call back he was going to check into it. Thanks for all advise.

    I could be wrong on this but if no inline fuse is seen in the back by the batterys, which there are several there. then i believe they are resetable breakers. Just hold in on the buttons by the steering wheel if they are flashing and they will reset
