2005 sea doo challenger, so installed a new stereo and speakers, worked great until we hit a few bumps and my wiring from the stereo came lose so re-wired everything at home air tight hooked it up no power, so thought i was dumb so i took it to electronic stereo place to see if i messed up my stereo and nope they said stereo is no the problem it woks fine they changed the accessory and radio fuses b/c the were blown, thinkin that was the issue but bam they blow again, so we check the fuses that are hooked up back by the battery and found a blown fuses so change that turn on battery and radio worked fine, next day took the boat out radio working for about 10 minutes then silence fuses blew again! accesoory fuse seems to be the main problem, i dont have nothing fancy like amps or anything, but the electric guy said somewhere seems like there is a ground wire problem, called sea doo and they werent much help, any suggestion? where can i check for faults? or find a diagram of the circuits

Did your boat have a radio and speakers in it and you just replaced them. Or is it a whole new install? Sounds almost like you have a power wire grounding out rather than a ground wire problem. Unless the ground wire problem is that it is touching a power wire. Shouldn't be too difficult to fix. There are only two wires that could be the problem. the B+ and the remote wire. Just follow those and make sure they are not grounding out anywhere. Make sure all connections are good and waterproof.

I agree, check those two wires first. And do make sure the connections are waterproof! IDK when my previous owner installed the radio and speakers but it was all horribly wired, just using wire caps for connections. They all corroded and I had to run new wires. NOT FUN!
