I took my ski out for a ride the other day. When I stopped and went to go back on it wouldnt start. No power to the dash no noise no nothing. I thought it was the battery so I changed the battery and still nothing?

Im thinking maybe the kill switch is stuck/broken or maybe a fuse.... Idk im not sure

Anyone have any idea as to what this could be and how to fix it?

Im not sure with your specific ski, but I know with my yamaha and kawasaki mid-90s skis, even if the kill switch lanyard is out/kill switch in, the starter still turns, i just kills the spark so the engine won't run or start up.

Not much help as to pointing in the right direction, more of an FYI...personally electrical problems scare me...just because i hate dealing with them

I had the same thing happen this past weekend while out on the water, come to find out that the starter power wire had became loose and lost connection.
