so when i first boutght my boat i took it out and after running wot and backing it off it just died and i lost all electrical power the main breaker on my dash popped so i played hell trying to get it re set it kept popping out so after a few minutes it finnaly reset and i chalked it up to the breaker being old and worn out so i replaced it and had not had the problem again untill sat. this time we were just idling along and it died breaker popped and let it sitt for a few min and it was fine. i did some searching and my coil wire going back twards the ign. is melted i dont know if this problem caused it ( i did feel the wiring harness get hot) or if this melted wire is causing my problem? any insight?

I would say that's a good place to start. Electrical problems can be a bugger to track down. Start with the obvious and go from there.
