We have a jetboat with a 350. I took the starter out to service last fall. I did some work on the boat and hooked up the two batteries. I had no power to any of the boat. It has blower, lights, heater, wipers and washdown pump. After several hours of following wires I could not figure out what was wrong. I installed the starter and everything worked. Is this normal that a starter needs to be connected to provide a path for power to the electrical system on a boat. This boat is 21 feet long with a 7 foot beam.
