1962 owens runabout / 75hp Johnson Electramatic no power to ignition
I recently aquired this boat, it sat for 25 yrs covered outside... I cleaned it up soaked the pistons and changed the plugs, I fixed a no spark issue and it fired right up first try in a tank I setup for testing, I revved it a little high not realizing the power it had and it shot a lot of water from the tank and I turned it off, then I added more water to the tank and I try to start again and get no power to the ignition, I found two fuses connected to key switch, replaced both, found two in control box, replaced those. They all looked intact except oneon the key switch, still no power to ignition, tilt and radio still have power. Any suggestions would be great. Are there any fuses on the motor, I didnt notice any.
