Hello boating community,
I just joined the "boating club" by buying a lakehouse which came with this pontoon boat. I took it for the first ride with the previous home owner and he noted that it generally has a hard time starting if you don't start it everyday. A few days later, I was able to start it after number of failed tries and went for ~20 boat ride. Now, two weeks since the last ride, I have not been able to start it.
It cranks fine but no spark. I removed the spark plugs and grounded each one with the spark plug wire connected to see if I can see the spark and there was no spark. Then I measured voltage coming into the coil (orange-green wire & ground, orange-blue wire & ground) and it only showed 1.3V and 1.7 volts respectfully when cranking. This tells me there is not voltage going to the coil. Attached are some pictures of the motor and coil. Any suggestions?? I have my first baby shower coming up and my Fiance wants me to take her ladies for boat rides for entertainment and I NEED to get this fixed or I'll be in the dog house (I'll just sleep on the boat).
Thanks in advance for your help!
