Yesterday I went out to make sure everything was ready to go for the upcoming memorial weekend. I had repacked my drive shaft, so I got that tightened up and adjusted a couple bunks on my trailer since I had to get a new one due to rust. I had the boat out a couple weekends ago for about 20 min and that's when I realized I needed to repack the drive shaft.
Anyway, yesterday after being tied up to the dock while adjusting the packing and my trailer I had shut my boat on and off numerous times. Also I loaded it onto the trailer 3 times to check the bunks. Finally I was ready to go for a drive. Didn't even make it past the no wake zone and the motor died. It didn't sputter like I ran out of fuel but just died. Opened up the cover and noticed when I turned the key the low pressure pump wasn't whining like usual when it draws the fuel from the tank. I checked all the wires and everything was hooked up still but the low pressure pump would not run. A fisher man towed me the 40 yards back to the dock and I had to call it a day. This morning I was going to check everything and see if I need to order a new pump. But the first time I turn the key everything is working great!
Anyone have suggestions on what might have caused this?? I replaced the thermostat and high pressure pump this last winter. The temperature was at 160 when it died. What sensor could cause it to just die and not allow it to get power to restart?? Thanks for the help in advance
