Got codes 81,82,83,84,85,86. Looks like no spark from the power pack. Is that my first place to look? Are there any other choices? The thing just died 100 feet from the dock, ran all day just fine. Good thing I wasn't 20 miles out in the Gulf fishing off a rig.<br />Any pointers in the general direction will help.<br />Thanks and tight lines<br />Gene

Those codes mean that the ignition circuit failed inside the ECU (computer) on cylinders 1 thru 6. The ECU needs to be sent to DFI for repair and upgrading.<br /><br />dfitechnologies.com<br /><br />Most of the time computer failure is from being stressed from previous overheats on the motor or being overheated internally from pulled water cooling passageways to the ECU.
