Hit the water..started and attempted to restart that cold evirude back up .lost all power to engage starter or hear electric choke engagement..Furious cause just drove 70km to take family fishing and see what my 2 week resurrection project amounted too and never got engine to start. Did the afternoon on used trolling motor and a couple of batteries..still had fun. Running out of time up here in western Canada..old man winter has given us some teasers. May not see a body of water till spring of 22..I'll keep you all posted..
