Well back from the mechanic and still have same problem,he could not replicate issue. If I run the boat for 30 mins. and shut her down she will not
restart till it has cooled for a few hours or longer. Mechanic said compression is 90 psi on all 6 cylinders. New plugs, good fuel, carbs clean not rebuilt-don't think this is the problem. Seems like something electronically is keeping it from starting. How about Power Packs? are their revised packs for this motor? I will need two right? Just do not want to start throwing parts at it! Thanks Fellas.

After it gets hot and you shut it off and it won't start-put an inductive timing light on each plug wire and crank the starter. See if you have spark or not. It will make a difference if you have no spark on one or two-or no spark on any of the 6. When it won't start are the plugs wet?
