[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 449481, member: 3278"] [size=5]If there is a kill switch hooked up in the system you will want to check that. Also check the key switch between ground and the kill wire. If there is a connection there when the key switch is in the on position you may have a bad switch. If the engine can be started with a rope I would disconnect the boat to engine wiring harness and check spark while disconnected. If you have spark it will be in the harness somewhere. (Read...my first two places I mentioned). If these checks do not bring you success then it will be a switch box. [/size] [/QUOTE]
