Happened to me at the river last week. Allothesuddn' DEAD! 10 miles from anywhere. Plugged in my spare module and away we went. Thank God I allways carry a spare! Most likely, it's the module. Attaches to drivers side riser with three small bolts and plastic spacers to mount it with 4 or five wires to it . It is a trangular mount.

I think my problem has nothing to do with the ignition system. I have 2 volt power in weird places. They have electric fuel pumps on this boat. They pulled power from the purple wire that goes to the main wiring harness for the pump. some times i have no voltage at the coil on the positive side and sometimes i have 12v. If a boat has electric fuel pumps where should the power be taken from?
