    Engine stopped in middle of the lake

    I have a 2005 22V

    So I went out for an early morning wakeboard session at lake mead this morning. We left from Calville and headed through the narrows. After a bit of wakeboarding we stopped for about 30 mins or so to hang out. We were heading back to Calville in a round about way looking for beaches, and just cruising between 15-25 mph. We were running for about 35-45 mins and just entering the narrows when the boat died. Had power in the sense that the blower and all the lights worked but no stereo and no engine. I figured something electrical so I checked all the fuses I could find but nothing worked. I tried resetting the main accessory power button in the engine compartment but nothing. After approx. 10-15 mins I attempted the main breaker again and the power to the stereo popped back on and the boat started right up. Took it easy coming in and made it back to callville with no additional issues. Any help on this issue would be awesome.

    Got a short somewhere? Did you do any new wiring lately? Checked battery connections?
    You'll get your chance, smart guy.

      No new wiring, did not check the battery cables do to the fact the blower, bilge, lights etc... were still working. It seemed that when it finally did start back up when I pushed the main breaker that it actually clicked/popped and then the radio came on.

        Had the same problem with a customers boat this weekend heading to Catalina island, turned out to be one of the connections on the breaker had loosened up and kept tripping the breaker. After we tightened it up, solved the problem. Waiting those 15 minutes for the breaker to reset sucks!!! Check the connections, otherwise there is a short somewhere.
        Fixing everyone elses boat just so I can use mine...
