    No issue, just letting others know where others have replied. For others in short and the key I had not noticed was My apologies for not taking more time when I first read the problem. This has to be an issue with the DTS calibration or a component in the controls

    At full throttle and it died...

    A fuse blew or breaker tripped. Check the ignition fuse (will be 15 or 20 amp). May be inline behind the helm or on a panel. Put a voltmeter on the Red/Purple wire on the key switch to see if 12V is there If its not there, check the 90 amp fuse on the starter post with meter
