I was out cruising in my boat yesterday all day. late at night we floated back to the dock. started fine the few times I had to reposition the boat in the channel but when we got near the dock, it suddenly would turn over and run for only a split second. this was a brand new crate motor 3 years ago and I have never had a day of trouble. only thing changed recently was that I put an Amplifier and subwoofer in the boat yesterday. anyone have any ideas.

it actually turns over still. just will not start. seems like its running with some starter noise while key is turned, but does not run by itself

Do you have spark ? Do you have gas at the carb?
