Hi
I started my catalina 30 up fione this spring and when launch day came it fired right up. It was running fine for 2-3 minutes then when I backed out to move the boat to my slip it died. I could not get it going and got towed back to the dock. Later after trying to get it going again it started but quit shortly after. I thought I had a fuel starvation or clogged line and was just ready to pull the carburator when I thought I should check for fire at the plugs. When I turned the engine over no sparks at the plugs when I held them on the block. Then I thought I should check the fire coming out of the coil. Nothing there either. Then I checked the voltager between the leads on the coil. nothing there either. I just replaced the ignition with a cheap canadian tire brand and still no voltage at the coil when I check the leads. The starter turns over find and I'm getting a pool of fuel in the carburator.
Is there a fuse between the ignition and coil that may have failed? What do I check next?
thanks
