I would be very surprised if it has a fuse. It may have a fuseable link, but probably not. If the starter isn't working, try shorting across the pins on the starter button to see if it's OK. The starter button usually controls a solenoid that probably has inaccessable connectors, but you can touch the hot pin on the starter with a heavy guage jumper from the battery to check the starter motor itself.

Charles,
I think you have the exact same motor that I have, an Evinrude 9.9 Yachtwin from around 1987. If you do, lets keep track of each other because I suspect these are getting rare. BTW, do you have an owners or repair manual for your outboard?

No, I do not have a manual.
I have not been to concerned as it cranks on the 2nd or 3rd pull.

Forgot to add: starter buttons are a common failure point as motors age. The sealing system is usually rubber and RTV, and both can get brittle and crack with age and allow water entry and corrosion.

Good point about the rubber boot around the start switch. Anyone know where to get a new one?
