Engine: 4.3 GXi-F – Model 3869306 S/N 4012192075
For past 12 seasons, boat comes out of winterization and cranks right up. Some seasons I do fluids in fall, others in spring but always fill with antifreeze.
This season, changed filters and engine would crank but not turn over. I've done a number of things based on other posts and online research: new battery, changed plugs, changed dist cap/rotor, checked fuses, cleaned carb with some cleaner. I noticed a couple relays (fuel pump, ignition) and they were same amps, so I switched them. Now no crank, and ignition fuse (15a) blew. I switched the relays back and put in new fuse and it cranked right up. Thought I was good until about the fourth time out, cruising at 30mph, the boat just shut down. Could not crank it, got towed back to dock. Next day, cranks, but no turn over. Purchased two new relays, swapped both out and no effect, back to square one. Ready to tow to mechanic but any other suggestions on things to check, I would appreciate it!!
