On throttlling up after leaving port, my 200hp Bombadier suddenly cut out. I quickly learnt that the fuel line had burst just in front of engine. In a few minutes I was able to solve that problem. It took several tries to re-start, though no alarm went off. However, an hour or so later, as I accelerated briefly on return to port, the motor went dead, again without an alarm sounding. This time, the motor went into complete "Safe" mode. (The 3 lights on the left of the guage, would come on, and nothing would happen when I tried to re-start.)
It took a little over an hour before the motor came out of "Safe." I'm at a loss concerning why the shutdown and the Safe mode. (The usual suspect, a clogged hose to the separator and overheating of the powerpack as a result, was not involved. When the motor finally came out of safe and could be started, I had had the battery terminal disconnected for about 6 minutes. Does this all make sense? The motor operated very well both before and after these incidents. Thanks for any thoughts or explanations!

Many thanks for the suggestion to check the alarm system.
