Hello all
I have a 18' how rider with a mercuiser 3.0 and an alpha one drive. I had an issue last weekend with no power to the engine and discovered it was the fuse under the dash replaced it and got the motor started yesterday ran the boat for about 20 min in tthe driveway with he muffs. Shut the motor down and then went to the lake in the process of trying to start the boat in the water it would just turn over and not start, come to find out after getting back home I have no spark. I think I have a short somwhere cause the boat will start of I put a constant hot to the coil pack from the battery. I'm not getting a hot from the purple wire to the coil pack from the alternator is there a way to test the alternator? I've taken the Alternator to all e big name auto part stores and they can not test it due to there limitaions, I also noticed that the fuse that I replaced is getting extremely hot.
Thank you for any help and advice
