messed up convincor electrical

Hey Guys

I was out on my 94 convincor 251 and ran the batts down to dead by accident, then like a dummy i tried to cross the starter to manually start it, and i think i blew a fuse somewhere cause i am getting no power to anywhere not to my lights not to my starter not to my stereo no matter what battery i have selected, but im pretty sure it isnt just a dead battery because i tried a jumper pack with no joy, and my engine hatch still opens and closes and it runs direct off the battery with a inline fuse. also the circuit breaker on the engine i have reset with no joy also . so my question is there a master fuse somewhere around the engine that i could have blown or are the battery's just that dead that they wont even turn on my lights, but again the engine hatch opens so im just confussed?

Thanks again guys
 
On the positive lead that hooks to your starter from the battery, there is that white cube that is bolted between the lead and the starter. That is actually a 95A fuse. If you jumped across the starter, you probably blew that out. This will cause what you are describing. I know this because my dad fried one when he hooked up his batteries backwards one year on his Sea Ray:shakehead:.

I started going over the whole motor with a continuity tester and ened up there to find that......good luck.
