Boat is a 87 Bayliner 14' Capri with a 50 HP Force.
I don't know where to post this as it affects the boat and motor. I was on the lake last night and all was well, sat for a while and fired her up to head to shore. All was well, was motoring at speed when all the sudden the dash lights quit and the motor died. Now the starter has no juice to it at all and no dash lights, but my bow light, bilge and sterio all still works. What I dont understand is I thought the motor would run with no power at all to it, I know my other boat with a Eninrude will run with no power at all to the motor. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kenny
