...and into the harbor. It was running fine, but as I back the throttle down (nice and slow) and got just above idle, I heard a single beep, and by the time I looked down the engine was off and the gauges were blank. No electrical power at all. Even the trim wouldn't work.

I had to drop the kicker quickly and get into the slip.

I'm thinking the complete lack of electrical power is a good sign. Perhaps a fuse?

Looking for the owners manual right now. ;)

No luck finding the manual yet. It's Sunday, and the Suzuki guy is closed.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

It wasn't the engine afterall. It's the battery switch.

Yep, new motors need lots of juice to keep the computers happy.
