GT40 intermittent loss of power at speed

I can tell you that when I pushed the button the 60amp, it clicked. Then it started. Before that, it would crank away and not start.
Now, that was 8 hours later so maybe it was a heat related issue.
But, I can tell you with certainty that the breaker clicked when I first pushed it. And now it doesn't. Is there a way to manually trip the breaker so I can test things further?

Thanks for the feedback.

I was the same user name before. That's why I asked. Same user name, same email address. The system had no info on me at all.

As a side note, did the site go through some changes.
I know I had an account here years ago, but it didn't recognize me or my email, thus the new user status.

Yes, I thought about that also. Considering this boat is almost 20 years old, might not be a bad idea to replace breakers & relays.

Hi,
I have a 1998 ski nautique with a GT40.
The last 2 times out, I've had the engine skip at speed. I was running about 32mph pulling my wife and then it skips for a second and my speed drops to around 28pm, then it picks up again and runs ok.
Last time out, it did this, then we retrieving the skier, I killed the engine. It would not restart. It was turning over, but not firing. I actually got a pull in. Later when I was home looking at things, I pushed the 60 amp breaker and it reset. Sure enough, hooked it up to water and it ran just fine in my driveway. Wish I would have thought of that on the lake.

So, the question is what trips the 60 amp breaker?
I'm wondering if something is starting to fail, thus drawing more amps.

I read through the poor man's GT40 diagnosis thread and didn't find anything similar.
The boat had the low pressure fuel pump replaced 4 years ago. Also had a new cap, rotor, plugs. Also, the filter in the FCC was replaced.

The relays on the back of the engine have not been replaced. Original as far as I know. I bought this boat in 2007.

Thanks,
Chris
