Hello,
I haven't taken out my boat lately since the boat was being repaired from a stress fracture. Once I got it back, I haven't used it because I am in school doing my masters, however, I have been running the engine every sunday to ensure it's in working condition. Well, today, after starting the engine, about 3-5 minutes of running, smoke started to come out and I turned off the engine as soon as I smelled the smoke. Please remember that I am hearing impaired so I would have no way of knowing if there were any noises being made. After the smoke dissipated, I tried to restart the engine so I could pinpoint exactly where it came from, the engine would not crank. I still have power with 12.4V on both of my batteries.
I have already checked off the alternator because the belts were spinning.
What can I look for first?
