2006 290 Sundancer with twin 5.0 mpi's. I changed out both seawater pump impellers and then took the boat for a cruise. ran it up to about 3500 rpm and cruised around for a bit. Everything worked great. Came back into the harbor and Boom, lost my starboard engine and gauges abruptly. No stalling, just dead. Strange thing is it will beep with the engine start switch and crank but not fire. No power to the gauges on that side though as mentioned above.
5 minutes later the port engine starts to hesitate and then dies and will not fire back up. Fuel gauge reads over a half tank. still have power at the gauge and all accessories for the port side too.
I'm going to try and trouble shoot when i get home but i'm leaning towards the cool fuel 3 in the port engine being gummed up. seems to be electrical on the starboard engine. Why would the gauges for that motor go dead as well? Any ideas would be appreciated.
This is a new boat to me so i'm in the shakedown stage and it'g going really wll so far. haha. Thanks in advance.
