Issue was gasket on carburetor leaking gas. I fixed that issue and the boat now starts with just a flick of the key. I’m actually on the boat right now testing it out. It’s been over a year since the block was repaired in addition to the many other issues that have been resolved. This forum is...
I think you might be right because the day before I took it out it started right up. So I will check the electrical again. One thing is for certain and that is that the battery seems to be draining at a fast rate (3 or 4 turns of the key and battery is dead) and this is a new battery. I’ll take...
Well here we go again…
I finally got the boat running and have been running it at least once a week. It’s been about 3 months or so and this week I decided to take the grandkids fishing in the boat. Well wouldn’t you know it… I put it in the water and all it did was drain my battery and my jump...
Most definitely, here’s a coors light after a job well done. Meeting and discussing issues with people like yourself sure did make resolving the issue almost effortless. Thank you.
I can’t even begin to to tell you how much I appreciate you as if it weren’t for you pushing me in the right direction, I honestly would have let my frustration's get the best of me. Your wisdom and ability to to teach others of the same compassion you hold about your boat has definitely made me...

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 purchased the boat used last winter and used it 3 times and all hell broke loose with it. I put it in the shop and found that the block was cracked.
$4500 later I only used it once after the...
