    Dead in the water

    Today we were out wakeboarding my radio quit, then my perfect pass stopped working. I stopped and cut off the motor thinking I would just going to turn it off and the perfect pass would reset. Wrong! The boat was dead but both batteries were fully charged. When I turned the key the gauges didnt even move. The last time it successfully started it hesitated then started. My nav lights, dock lights, interior lights, taps, blower, bilge all work. Taps, ballast pump, horn, and key switch are dead. My voltage at the key switch is 2.7v. I tested the key switch and it tests good. Could it be a starter fuse? And if it is what caused it to go bad?

    Sounds like a loose connection somewhere to me?

      Do you have a circuit breaker by the house battery?

        I think you mean 12.7 V? If you have 2.7 then that is your problem. Please clarify.

              The 50 amp breaker is melted on my starter. Hopefully that is the problem.

                  You should have the same voltage at the key switch as at the battery. That breaker is your 'loose' connection. Good luck, and hope it is an easy fix to swap it out.

                    The breaker is melted and falling apart so yes it's lose. I have my ballast pumps, perfect pass, and radio all running off that power lead and that could of done it. I move the ballast to run off main feed and am waiting til Tuesday to get the part. My son gets to ride with parks Tuesday and I was hoping he could get his whirly 5 100%. Heres a little video of my son.
