I have a problem with my 95 Ski Nautique. It was 85 degrees out and when attempting to start the boat (for the first time that day) the dash ignition switch push button would not stay in. I lifted the engine box for 15 minutes and then it would stay in until I tried to start the engine, the engine would start, the button would pop out and kill the engine immediately. Eventually it stayed in and running for about a 15 minute boat ride and then the engine died. After a couple of 30 second run/die I got back to the dock. My safety kill switch is bypassed. Something is defiantly killing the engine??

I spoke with the local Nautique dealer and he said to check the voltage at the fuel pumps. If your not getting enough juice it could be electrical short or the fuel relay's are bad. He also said you might want to first check the actual Amps at the dash ignition switch, it should be at 12 Amps with everything on. if the less than 12 amps it could be a bad ignition switch breaker. Please let me know if you hear of any other ideas?
Thanks

ok, just back from taking the boat out to test it and seemed to run pretty good for the time I was out there. We for now have bypassed the kill switch and it starts right up every time we shut it down, another test run is surely going to be needed this week when I get a chance, the one new thing that just came up today is that the temp gauge is not registering for some reason, wouldn't think the kill switch had anything to do with it so now we are gonna have to do some more wire tracing.

I just ordered a Fuel Sender from SkiDim to replace my factory sender, the current one only reads 1/4 full when the tank is full. I wonder if this problem, is related to my original dieing problem (with the engine cutting off)?
