Need to scan the motor for codes
My thought is there is a sensor wire which is disconnected
Gray to B-21 (Ground)
Dark Blue/White to B-11 (Sense)
Black/Pink to B-1 (5V)
Recon I got nothing else to offer, wish I did. An ALT is a pretty simple device, apply 12V to S and Ex, rotate and so long as they are connected to the Bat being charged they work or they don't
I also know that ALT from DB and have one sitting on the shelf (100 amp), its a piece of crud. Got a one wire and a connector to add Sense and Excite leads, and never did work correctly
I'm thinking problem in the 10 pin engine connector or splice connection with the 50 amp breaker
Red from starter post to 50 amp
Red/Purple from 50 amp to 10 pin and ALT
Purple from 10 pin to ALT
Get an ohm meter and disconnect battery, then ring out the wires
Check the fitting on top the drive that the intake hose connects to. Many times the fitting gets corroded and restricts water flow

Should be no reason not to hose the boat down, so long as the water doesn't get high enough to reach the starter
How long have you had the boat?
There are fuses in several locations and there should never be smoking from hot wires unless the fuse was replaced with a higher amp type. Your ignition fuse should be no larger then 20 amp
Thanks roscoe, you the guy, worked like a charm. Also nice all the fuses are easy to get to. Bad part is the printing is dark on black, hard to read, and my guess may not last very long
