Checked the 50 amp breaker mounted beside engine harness plug and solendo, have power to both. No power to the red and orange wire going to the ignition switch. Is the orange wire and red wire on the 50 amp breaker mounted on engine the same wires? The 50 amp breaker it not pop.

yes the 50 amp breaker feeds the red or orange 10 gauge wire. So if you have power leaving that breaker and it is getting thru the cannon plug, you have a fuse or breaker out up in the dash or cabin. On your shore power panel do you have ignition switches/breakers?

Went into cabin today to check the console, theres a master and left and right switch, flipped the right right switch and had power to ignition. Didn't know these were breakers. Problem solved, started up engines today. Thanks for all the help. I knew it had to be something dumb that I was over looking.

-My wife bumped into one of those last summer while idling out of a channel.... Fortunately, it did not take too long to figure it out.

Glad you're up and running again!

BTW, in regards to your fuel senders, replaced a few of those, my old 'Gun used to snap the float arms off when run hard.

Replaced the fuel sender with the newer style. It's a vertical tube with a float on the outside that goes up and down, no swing arm like the old one. Kept the boat on the lift this winter, my boat house is fifty feet long. Wash all the pollen off this afternoon. Need to detail the interior tomorrow. Started both engines today. May take a ride tomorow.
