2006 Yamaha 50 wont turn over

[Briandm64]

I was had been running my boat for about an hour and then the motor just stalled. Now when i turn the key to the start position nothing happens. All of my accessories have power and work fine but my starter will not even turn when i use the key. I am thinking that it has something to do with a bad kill switch or the ignition switch?? Does anyone have any ideals?

Are you saying the motor locked up and will not turn even by hand?
Or are you saying the starter will not engage or even the starter relay is not clicking?

No. I am saying that there doesn't appear to be any power going to the motor. Even the power trim doesn't work (at the motor or at the throttle control). the motor was running great and then just stopped. Then when i turned the key off and then back on nothing. I have 2 30amp fuses at the battery and they are not blown. My guages, radio, and gps all work. but i get nothing to the motor when i turn the key to the on position.

Use a meter and check to see where you are losing the voltage at.
If you find a blown fuse under the cowling you probably will still have to find what took it out.

That sounds like a good starting point. Any ideal how many fuses are under the cowling?
