when we pulled out the pontoon, my wife turned off the motor, but left the key on did we cook anything in the electrical?
it seems to crank just fine, its on a 77 johnson stinger, with a standard control box thanks

There really isn't anything under the hood that would be impacted by the key being left on. The Ignition system is independent of the charge system. If you have stuff powered on by the key then your battery might have lost some voltage. I would say no since everything is working.

Yeah man no worries. A run down battery is your worst case scenario.

Worst case scenario will be when the wife finds out he's blamin' her for stuff! :eek:

Yea, you can get away with blaming the wife only a couple of times here, then we start dis-believing :D

Repeat after me: "I can't believe I left the key on. That was really stupid of me leaving the key on like that. I'm sorry that I left the key on sweetie, I hope I didn't do any damage, and if I did I am sorry. Would you please make sure I turn the key off from now on; I can't be trusted. Thank you."

And that includes, my buddy, my son, my boss or whoever else you can come up with. :D
