Someone I know whose name I won’t mention did that (he didn’t actually admit it but he did. He asked me if it mattered which way the cables were connected).

On his boat there was a fuse under the engine cowling that was blown. It had a cover so it wasn’t readily visible. I replaced the fuse with the spare and all was well.
