I have a pontoon boat with a Johnson 70hp motor one it. It's a 1978 model, serial number 4716659. Anyway, I just bought this boat Wednesday, September 8, 2004 and today was the first day I put it in the water. Took the whole family of 5 out with me for a day on the lake. I put the baot int he water, started it right up and was sailing up the river when I decided to light a cigarette using the dashboard lighter. As soon as I pushed the lighter in, the boat motor died and never started again. Got pulled in by another boat. I checked the plug wires and there was no fire to the plugs. I looked everywhere for a fuse or circuit breaker with no results. Can someone please think of something that I can do or check to find out what happened?
