Electrical issue

   Hi I’m the proud new owner of  a 1994 ski nautique. 

The second day out I encountered an electrical issue which shut down the engine and the ignition breaker light went out but the breaker did not pop out. After a breaker panel inspection pushing the breaker buttons and a bit of head scratching the ignition light cam on and the boat fired up. 

The boat has been beautifully maintained by the previous owner who recently replaced the ignition breaker and renewed the dash wiring, he has given me the old breakers just in case the are the issue but I think it may be either a loose wire, kill switch issue or the ignition may be the problem. 

When the boat dies the other accessories still have power 

Any suggestions

	When it happens again, use a volt ohm meter to see where the power is flowing and where it is not.

	Sounds like a loose wire. Check the connections at the back of the ignition breaker. Pull on the wires to make sure there isn't a bad crimp.
