Morning started off pretty good.
Boat fired up at the docks.
Idle speed up the Huron River.
Boat stalled when we gave it some gas to get in plane. Took two tries to get going.
Then we were running nice. Certainly gotta figure out how to trim this thing. The hull rides nice but not as stable as what I’m used.
Anyway.
Got about 1 mile from where we’re staying and boom.
Engine just died and we lost power. Then boat wouldn’t restart!
$6,200 in repairs.
Called the mechanic he thinks it’s the coil. I confirmed that gas is shooting into the bowl.
Who is asked to go over the entire engine and outdrive and doesn’t replace the coil.
oh well playing while we wait for the tow boat.
beats a day in the office. Haha.
Any guesses on what to check after replacing coil?
Engine had a full tube up kit.
