1986 omc no spark 4.3

[Mach1Boater]

Now a new issue. I have recently put an ignition tune up kit on her changed the starter and got it timed. Once all that was done she han great. I took her out and went fishing for a few hours. I docjed her and when i went to start it up she wouldnt fire. I opened the engine bay up to look ehat was hoing on and noticed water up to tge bottom of the engine almost submerging the starter so i get the boat out of the water found the leak and fixed the leak. I get the boat home and she fired up right away for about 3 min then died. Now i dont have anu spark ehat so ever. Anyone have any ideas?? Its a 1986 OMC 4.3.

The boat will turn over but not start none of my interior lights are working as well... they were fine before the flood.

Ya but is there Power to 'em, 'n if not, follow the power to SEE where it stops....

Diagnosis is startin' with the primary voltage to see why there's no 2ndary voltage...
