We were pulling into the Ft Myer Beach mooring field and my QSR 5.9 Cummins diesel just stopped. I quickly dropped the anchor and did some quick troubleshooting before calling TowBoatUS for a tow to a mooring. Engine would turn over, but no 'fire'.
After further inspection, I've found a blown 2 prong 25amp automotive type fuse, replaced it and it blew again, immediately. Looked on the port side of the engine near the ECM stuff, and found a 'plug in' that appeared to be burned, so unplugged it, took it apart, cleaned the connections and tried fuse again, it blew.
Now waiting until at least Thursday before a Cummins mechanic can get out here.
Anyone have any ideas?
I really understood my little Yanmar diesel on my sailboat, but this is a totally different animal, Lots more electronic stuff...

There could be worst places to be stuck.
