I was in the water last weekend, and the boat was running great. I dropped a skier in, and before I could put the boat in gear it just died. I have not been able to get it to start since then. I did check the 20 amp fuse, it is good. The motor will turn over just fine. I pulled the plugs and they don't seem to be firing. I am not positive, but I don't think the power packs are getting any power either. Any suggestion of things to check would be great. Thanks in advance.

Disconnect the black with yellow striped wire at the powepack and the rectifier and try it.

After I disconnect that wire, what am I checking for?
