Hello, new member here,
I'm having a problem with my atomic 4. On Friday I ran the engine for about 2 hours, noticed some sputtering most of the way and then it died. I tried to fire it right back up and it worked, but only lasted about 5-10 minutes before cutting out again and refusing to start again. Had to get towed back to my slip. After about 2 more hours of cooling down in my slip, I tried starting it again and it started up just fine. The next day I started it in my slip and ran it in forward for about 30 minutes with no issues at at, connected to shore power. Then I disconnected shore power and ran it again, and almost immediately noticed some subtle sputtering and de-powering. What could that be? Does this sound like an electrical issue of some kind? Alternator? It seems like it's not getting the same amount of power when disconnected from shore power.
I'm not exactly mechanically savvy, so please use layman's terms. Thank you!
