I have a 2009 Mercury Pro xs 250 hp. Engine has always ran perfect , on my last trip engine started perfect and blasted off perfect while running maybe 2 miles on plane it cut off like I had pilled the kill switch?? It started right back up perfectly and blasted off again, again about 1 mile on plane it shut off again!! , it will start right back up and run perfect but will shut off just like if I turn the key off.. now after it did this 3 times, the 4th restart it ran probly a good 5 miles back to the ramp with no issues... I have never seen or heard of this happening before.. ?? . it did shut off while in idle when i was loading onto trailer... I have read it could be the key switch or kill switch?? any test i an do. Thanks for the help.

Im not familiar with the newer motors and thier logic but maybe there is a kill wire you can disconnect and run it to see if it dies.

On my 86 it did the same thing, checked spark and found none. The trigger ended up being faulty

Check all tha pins, male and female, in main harness plugs. Make sure they are clean and tight. Xacto (sp) knife works well for this..........
