Just posting as a general FYI and something to check. I’m the 2nd owner of a 2010 Super Sport 130 and have been working my way thru various inspections and maintenance. My boat spent much of its life marina docked in salt water and exposed to salt air. Not much of a surprise to find some corrosion in various wiring connectors.
Below is link for a picture of the main 15A fuse located near the battery box. It was inside what I considered a pretty well sealed fuse holder/connector. Notice the extensive corrosion even inside the sealed fuse housing.
Definitely needed replacing. While I was at it I also installed a 4 amp fuse holder between the 12v console outlet and it's 12v feed wire. If there's an accidental short of that outlet - the 4 amp fuse will go before the main 15 amp fuse gives up it's life. Seemed like a bad circuit design idea not having the outlet protected by a sub-system fuse.
