This may sound like a dumb question but can wiring issues cause engine to stall? The reason I ask is because my boat (1984 SeaRay Monaco 5.7L) runs like a champ for the first 15-20 minutes we take it out (every time). But after that we experience sporadic engine stalling. We could be cruising or running WOT and it would fall on it's face like someone turned off the key. Is it possible that I have one or multiple wires resting on the engine and once it's hot it's causing these issues? Could there be a a ground wire of some sort that doesn't have a good connection? Speaking of which, which component(s) have a ground wire? Sorry for all the boat newbie questions.
