My boat died on the water first time out this year. I checked and spark is crazy, sometimes 4 plugs will spark, and 2 won't, and it seems to move around. I figure its either the timer trigger or electrical box so I did an ohm test on the trigger. It has the 3 in one row, one on top terminal and from what I have seen you measure resistance between the middle of the 3 and the other middle 3 terminals and supposed to get around 200 for a year later I think it was, but I am getting like 1300. Does this sound like the check I need to be doing? I unhooked the transmission engagement and kill switch and it didn't help. Thanks in advance
