Fires on boats is dangerous business and not something to be taken lightly.

DAMN FERM... Now you're starting to sound like me...  Safety, safety safety.. it pays off big time guys!!!
Nipper, fuses blow when there is an excess current draw flowing through them. So you need to start with the wire(s) leading to that fuse and trace it/them forwards and backwards to wherever they terminate. Your problem will be in those wires or the units they terminate to.
