Hi All,
About 1 month ago, we took the boat out to enjoy a day of fishing. We reached one of our favorite spots about and shutdown the engine and anchored up. The ride was about 20-25 minutes long. When we first got under way I noticed an erratic reading on the tachometer then it just went dead and never recovered.
When we were ready to change locations, the engine started but shook violently. I immediately shut it off and restarted. The engine ran normally. We reached location #2 and anchored up. About 2 hours later the engine would not start.
After being towed in, we took the boat to the house. I did a little research and we tested various things per the troubleshooting guide in the repair manual.
We have replaced the power pack(OMC), 3 ignition coils, and voltage regulator/rectifier. The engine starts and idles great for about 15 minutes, then the engine develops a horrible miss.
My marine mechanic buddy suggests the stator is breaking down when the engine gets warm.
Any thoughts?
