So i went and picked up my boat from the shop because there was a three week waiting list. i Got home and did some more searching to what could be the problem. my motor would run for a while and then it would loose spark and die.i started to analyse my ignition and there was what looked to be a trailer light type plug that the wires coming off the key plugged into. so i took it apart to check for bad connections and it was corroded like crazy and the black/yellow wire was corroded nearly corroded off of the adapter and with a gentle tug it broke off. so i did away with all the plug stuff and wired it straight to the key and the motor seemed to have better spark( jumped almost a one inch gap ). i tried to start it and it fired right up. i ran it on the hose for 30 minutes and checked the spark again and it was still very strong. My question is did i fix he problem? what is that black?yellow wire. Could it cause the motor to loose fire?
