having trouble with my engine think it coule be electirial.. put the boat in the water 3 days ago it started ran for a few seconds then shut off.. after countless tries of starting it and it shutting off finally got it going decent around the water but i had the throttle pinned and was maybe going 5mph.. then the motor shut off and hasnt started since.. im not to knowledgable with these engines but i have power going to everywhere just about but i lost the spark.. some backround on the boat the ignition is junk the guy i bought the boat from lost the key and was starting the boat with a screwdriver so im def changing that. the boat turns over just doesnt start.. thinking its either stator or power pack what do you guys think??

I think you need to check compression, spark and fuel, to find out where your problem is.
