[C320-list] Engine (not) starting

   Success!  Late this afternoon, I discovered a third fuse on the port
   side of the engine.  It is a 30 amp fuse that looks like the standard
   kind found in automobiles.  It was tucked up under some of the engine
   hoses, in a holder that had been spray painted gray like the
   engine.  Given the difficulty of getting to it, I would guess it was
   placed there before the hoses were added.  It was clearly burned out
   and replacing it fixed everything.  So, there are (at least) three
   fuses on the port side of the engine.  Thanks for everyone's
   suggestions.

   I think I found the inline harness fuse, fairly easily accessible from
   the front of the engine on the port side. It is a small, two-pronged
   fuse that plugs into a black holder. Unfortunately for me, that fuse
   (I think a 1 amp) was fine as was a similar 10 amp fuse in the same
   kind of holder located close to the first one (it was fine, too). I
   did not see any other fuses near the engine. Could there be another
   one somewhere between the pod and the one I found? At any rate, I will
   continue to pursue the problem rather than abandon my boat because I
   can't start the engine.

   I think there is an inline fuse in the wiring harness in the cableing
   going
   to the pod.
   Also check the connections at the terminal block of that cabeling in
   the pod
