I've been fighting a few electrical issues for the past 2 weeks. 1st problem was we were hanging out at a cove and went to start up and nothing. No beeps and the dash was totally dead. After about an hour i finally decided to hit the master reset at the back of the engine. The boat fired right up and we took off. Then about half way to the dock I lost all power and the boat died, no beeps and the dash was dead again. So I hit the reset and we just idled back in.
Yesterday I pulled it off the trailer and it just seemed to be running very rough. I idled over to pick up some friends and it just died, it would crank but just seems like no spark. Opened the dog house and I noticed that my ignition ballast resistor had blown up and there was white dust everywhere. I went to Autozone and got the closest replacement resistor that I could find and still no spark.
I replaced my coil, spark plugs, and upgraded to the Mallory EI last year and it ran great until now.
Has anyone ever blown up a resistor like that? Any help on where to start would be great.
Thanks!!
