Cut out completely while under power. Compression checked out, No spark all six, followed repair manual troubleshooting, CPS check, 12V at purple wire on ECM. Does this sound like an ECM problem? Not sure the proper method to test ignition ECM. Appreciate any feedback

It died like the key was turned off. After that, it would turn over but would not fire. Compression check, 12V at the ECU, CPS all checked out fine. No spark on any of the 6. Tested my spark tester on the lawn mover to make sure it was working ;-) Thanks

Sorry, Correction.... The boat was just coming up to speed and the driver thought he hit a rope or something in the water, it lost power. He throttled back, turned off the engine and inspected the prop expecting to see a lobster pot rope around his prop, however it was clear. He put the engine back in the water and restarted, it sputtered and stalled. Trying to restart again, it would not. Sorry for the confusion. I had asked the same question and he told me it did not fire. We obviously had a miscommunication first time around. Thanks again
