I recently purchased a 98 gp 1200 with around 90 hrs on it. I have only been out on it a few times and everything worked on it great, actually better then I expected for somethin this old. Today I took it out and ran it for awhile no problems. My friend's boat ran out of gas about about 2 miles from the dock so i had to tow him. As we got to the dock I tried to shut it off. The shutoff button doesn't work. I pull the emergency kill teather, still keeps running. At this time the warning light comes on and the screen is flashing VOLTS. I turn the gas off and about 30 seconds later it shuts off. I left it sit for awhile and tried to restart it. It wont turn over. I went ahead and loaded it up and took it home. When I get home I put a jumper pack on the batter and it starts turing over by it self. I unhooked the battery so I can charge it, it is almost hot enough to burn my hand. This is after the ski has been out of the water for about 1.5 hours. I'm clueless to what is wrong other than a dead battery. I was thinking and hoping the switches on the handlebars went bad. Any help would be appreciated.
