2000 Moomba Outback Died While Running
When we took our boat out at the launch, it started fine... was idling rough but stayed running. Got out on the lake idling, doing ok. But when we tried to speed up a little, the boat died. It wouldn't crank, starter won't turn. Tried jumping the starter to crank, but it wouldn't do anything. Also tried tapping on the starter, but got nothing. The boat is getting gas. Electrical is completely dead. All the gauge positions stayed right were they were at (at running) and wouldn't reset even when boat was shut off. Any ideas what the problem might be? Thank you!

Did you hit the master reset button on the back of the engine? Did you check the lanyard? Are you saying the engine won't turn over at all? Or are you saying it will turn over but just not start? Please clarify. We can probably help but you have to be very specific.

It might be a long shot, but mine died kind of like that once. It turns out, I had knocked one of the electrical leads off the back of the key switch, and it killed everything. My heart stopped for a minute until I found out what it was.

No, never done that. The only thing I did was put antifreeze in the block and the manifolds and unhooked battery.

Thank you for all your advice
We have never had any major problems with this boat. Replaced the starter, had to have the packing replaced, and blew a head gasket once, but the head gasket is ok now. It has been an awesome boat. This is the first time anything like this has happened. Can't wait for Spring to break so we can get it back out on the lake again. Thank you all very much for any advice. We will check everything out you suggest.
