Out on the water this morning and had grief! Perfect pass started to total cut in and out, and when I accelerate the engine would hesitate then go, and hesitate again! Then I stopped and idled, when idling the engine stalled right out. I tried to start it again it tried turning over4 times but never fired, then it just went dead and will only click when I try to turn over engine. Has anyone had something like this happen?

Did you just fill up? Possibly bad gas? After that i always start with the basics do you have spark, fuel, air and compression?
Good luck currently out waiting a thunderstorm to get on the lake.

Not having any luck. I am trying to find the 50a circuit breaker, but can't seem to come across this reset anywhere!?

How about the fuel pump? Do you hear it pressurize when you turn the key? If not, there is a fuse for it. (ours was very well hidden blow the motor). Can test the fuel pump running direct current to terminals (warning, there is a + and - side on the pump that must match).

With tour electronics acting up first then the performance issues I would say its a bad connection, starting with the battery/batteries. Usually a bad ground.

Second that. Sounds like a dying battery, or very bad connection.

Finally squaminboards and cornrichey are close to the problem. Your bat\alternator is probably your problem If the breaker opened you wouldn't even get a click Period...sounds like hillier likes to smell gas Its got to turn over before you worry about a fuel pump omg
