Hi everyone,

first post on this site so please be nice :)

I imported from the US to australia a 2005 Robalo 235 with a 05 bf225 on it.. Very happy I must say.

lately it's started to sound an alarm and stall. no lights on the dash warning display light up just that alarm and engine stops.
I take it out of gear, turn the key off the alarm stops.It restarts as soon as I turn the key again.
At first I thought it was only in poor weather and guessed it was a electrical connection, So when I arrived home I inspected all easy to access connections between outboard and dash and found nothing. spoke to the honda dealer and he also said it was likely electrical.
The next time I took it out the same thing happened but it seems to be getting more common, but will still restart straight away. <which is a major relief >
after it started happening more regularly I reduced the rev's to smooth the ride to just below 4000RPM and it seemed to make it less regular but didnt fix the issue
I also noticed that it would stall even when it was not pounding, As wile in the harbour in totally flat water I tried to increase to max RPM and it still stalled.
The local honda dealer still states that it's an electrical connection but I cant seem to find it.

Any ideas would be great as other then it being a total pain I dont want to wreak the motor nor get stuck when it decided not to restart..

Cheers Dave
