Not getting a spark boat will not start

[98BajaOutlaw]

Hi everyone,

I have a 98 Baja outlaw 7.4L merc.
Everything was working fine and now it will not fire. Engine turns over great.
Good fuel pressure
New starter
New coil
I have good voltage at the ignition/ safety switch. I swapped a circuit breaker so it’s not that. Any help is appreciated.

Looks like carb motor
Your kill switch flipped OFF maybe?

It has a holly fuel injected carb on it now. Where would there be a kill switch

Its normally either on the shifter or next to it. The kill switch is required on all small boats for many years. It would have a teather cord attached to it and the other is on the driver incase they get thrown overboard

Your boat might not have one since your asking

Oh that one I see, after checking the v at all the wires off of the safety switch and ignition I found that there is a break in power somewhere on the purple wire between the ignition and where it meets the coil and alternator. Instead of searching I ran a new wire and the boat is starting again!
