    Thank you to everyone that provided their input to help me resolve an issue that totally stumped me for a few days. This boat has been nothing but a headache since I purchased it. But I’ve learned a lot about it no doubt. Got the boat running and it’s been running for 3 days now. The issue was a...

    Well I got the boat to start. While checking the ignition switch connections I learned that there was an apparent shorting the purple wire connection. Thank you for going the extra mile in providing me with the information that led me to checking those connections. I appreciate you very much.

    Testing the ignition switch…MM connection to the battery red line on the switch and negative on Y/R before turning key to on position is +12 and the same for purple. When I turn the key to on position MM goes to zero on Y/R and purple which were tested separately. No guage activity.

I put it in the shop and found that the block was cracked. $4500 later I only used it once after the...

    I do not see any fuse. I tested the solenoid switch and verified that the boat turns over and starts. I think the solenoid switch is bad. I had to short it to get the engine to turn over. The gauges still don’t work. I’m going to pull the ignition switch and test it as per another individual...

    I’m sorry but I do not understand what you are telling me. I’m somewhat new to learning about this boat. Please forgive me if I can’t comprehend your terminology of abbreviated information. Ok, great input. I just finished testing the solenoid switch and I believe it to be bad. I tested it...

    Yes, continuity includes the main battery cable to the starter. The battery is supplying power everywhere that it should. I just replaced the battery, starter, solenoid, relay, plugs, distributor, plug wires, carburetor, and the ignition switch. The boat has been turning on every time I’ve...
