95 Four Winns Horizon 240, 5.8 Ford FI, Penta SX
Firs time out of the season. Battery was low so needed jump box to first get it started. Once started she ran great for 1.5 hours. Plenty of power, smooth ride, like buttah...
I get back in, do my little dance to back it in the pick up slips, she sputters and finally stalls, right as I am putting her in reverse.
Then it gets worse: no power whatsoever. Turn the key and no gauges work, no clicks, no noises no nothing. WTH?? Get the jump box hooked up, still nothing...
SO dead battery + bad alternator? Even with both kaput, why would I get no reaction with the jump box hooked up?
