HI members, i hope someone can help. I have a 1988 300 weekender w/twin 5.7l mercruisers and Borg Warner velvet
drives. intermittently i am having port engine failure. this happens at idle as well at any speed. when this happens all
dash gauges for port engine stop working as well. when i try to restart engine there is no gauge activity and engine does
nothing. all my batterys are new as well as new ingition switches. when engine does run it runs great w/no problems. i suspect possible electrical failure of some kind, but don't know where to start diagnosing problem. also this problem is not heat sensitive. meaning problem happens w/both cold or hot engine. i don't have any wiring diagrams, and do not know if gauges get there power source from ing.switch or starter motor solenoid etc. any help would be great. thanks Jeff D.:huh:
