The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Looks like a ground strap - maybe for the electronics plate, grounding it to the block? If it's missing, that could definitely cause some running issues...
I believe it was just black and it runs up to the fly wheel. My engine cut off the other day and today I noticed that wire was burnt through. I fix it today it runs fine.
But why would it burn through?
