    No power to Ignition Switch

    Have a 2004 24v and boat started dying/stalling at idle last time out; now there is no voltage (actually see about 3.3v on meter) getting to the 12v side of the switch where the 2 heavier gauge red wires come in to the ignition switch. When you turn the key the buzzer will softly buzz briefly, nothing like normal start up, but that is it, no gauges, radio, etc. Have two brand new Interstate batteries, both see 12.8v with engine off, and amps are seeing 12.8v, checked and double checked terminals to make sure no corrosion and tight. Hooking batteries to charger or jump box did not make a difference. I finally jumped a fusable link from the power/bus bar under the dash to the 12v side of the switch, turn the key and everything powers up and works as it should (haven't tried to crank engine yet) But wanted to see if anyone else had experienced the stalling issue and the sudden no voltage to ignition switch. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Here is a little more info about what is happening. This past Sunday while we were just sitting in the water idling waiting for people to show up at the dock the boat died twice, each time it died I was able to just start it right back up with no issues. After it died the second time we decided to take it for a ride to see if it would die while at speed. It did not die again and had no other issues the rest of the day. Last night went to install a amp and when we went to turn the power on there was nothing, not even enough power to turn on the stereo deck. The rest of the story is covered really good above.
