Re: Relationship Between Evinrude and Suzuki in Four-Stroke Outboard Engines
Note the 2004 shift away from Suzuki occurred within a year of Bombardier selling BPR to an investor group led by Bain Capitol. That time was the expiration of the Suzuki contract, nothing to do with Bain. Because BRP was selling more Suzukis than Suzuki USA did, there were unreasonable demands put...

That [mentioned advice about height of the anti-ventilation plate relative to the water flow around it] is correct.
On most planing boats an E-TEC G2 can be mounted two-holes higher than the former engine was mounted.

You can remove the purple wire from the keyswitch to eliminate the gauges and engine components. If it blows when priming remove purple-white wire and retest. if it still blows fuses there is a keyswitch problem. You said that it did not blow while cranking the motor, that is the yellow-red wire

That fuse feeds 12v through the red wire to the keyswitch which in turn feeds the 12v to the purple wire for gauges, accessories if installed, and power back to the motor when the key is ON. Look closely under the dash at the gauge wiring and connections and for any chafing or rubbing of the harness...
