Let me start by saying that the boat prior to a burnt connection to the stator it was running great. I was a mechanic of car and stuff but honestly boats confuse me a little.. I do have the repair manual but I don't own the tools needed for the tests. So what I have found was the stator short overloaded the rectifier and ignition coil causing cracks in both. My question is about the amplifier is there a way to test it with modern equipment? It is a 3 wire amplifier and I do have the 12v incoming voltage. I was able to do the ohm check for the stator I got 1.0 ohms and no sign of short to ground. Second question what else should I check? I'm kinda lost on this.....

Thanks for any help, the sad boater

post exact mdl ans ser#... if the kill circuit is not the cause the " amplifier" is suspect according to Chat...
this may.. help but if you have no tools to test ....shop time may be on the horizon. techs for 1969 engines are getting rare..and $$$$
