Yesterday when I docked the boat and tried to start it again, nothing happend. I checked the cut off switch and it is okay. The boat was running fine and now I have no spark. Any ideas? This happenend once before and then the next day it worked fine again. It has been about 2 years since the last incidence. Confused .... Is this a a sign of a bad stator?

Hotrod...you lucky dog! Had that failed on me it wouldn't have been at the dock...it would have been in the path of an ocean freighter coming to port in a narrow channel. You outta go buy a lottery ticket or two my friend! Glad to hear you're up and runnin' so quickly.
