So the question is why are the brackets surrounding it different? The original bracket is lower than the new one.
The original problem that started this.
boat ran fine then one day I go out and start it, let it idle for a few while I waited for some family to show up. When they did I go to start it and it would crank but not fire. My buddy checked for spark and said there wasn’t any. Now I had family up, very few tools and no meter. So I got a coil figuring it was a long shot. Get the new coil and see the connectors don’t work. Put the old one back in and give it another turn of the key And now it wasn’t cranking. I checked the trim and that still worked, checked the fuses and didn’t see any obv. Got it home and and found the 55 amp fuse on the starter lug was blown. Replaced that and it fired right up. Took it back out a hand full of times and assumed it was something with that fuse. Was out all day sat and it was great. Sun I go get it, it would crank but not fire, I kept opening the throttle wide open and it finally started but then cut out instantly, not like a starving for fuel shut off but an instant stop. I got it going again and the whole back of the boat was shaking at first and it blew out some dark smoke probably from flooding. Heading to the dock at low speed it was stuttering and a few times felt like it was going to cut out completely.
Ad is told me to check the voltage on before, on and after startup.
I have the documentation from Regal, I called them but it’s basically a wiring diagram.
