I resently a 1996 seapro with an evinrude oceanpro 150 on almost every occasion i have been out on the boat the engine would run fine for most of the day just doing short runs from here to there trolling, drifting, with no problems. On long runs the engine would run fine then out of the blue it's like someone turned off the key. But it would start wright back up every time. The engine only has 250 hrs on it, any help would be much appriciated.:confused:

That is a stumper. I would trace the black/yellow wire from the powerpack to the boat harness and then from the boat harness to the ign key. Look for anyplace it rubs the block. if that wire shorts to ground, it kills the spark.
