Ok, have been out a couple of times now. Everything working great, no problems what so ever, engines running very nice , tried WOT today, 75mph @ 5500rpm ;)

So what was the problem? Fuel, ignition? I'm not sure, but probably ignition. I found three things that I took care of. First, port ignition key switch was not working properly. Second, ground wire from port alternator was off. Third, there was a very poor clamping with alot of corrosion at two of the three batteries (+).

I cleaned every connection i could find, I replaced all fuses. And I emptied the fuelfilters/separators twice.

Thank you guys for your valuable input. As usual :)

Yep, my post confirms me as a true DA, I knew you had Bravo's and the little switches are so you can't start in gear, I have TRS's now and those switches are on the top of the tranny. But I did have an Alpha boat before this one and it had the switches similar to the bravo ones. Just got the interrupt stuff stuck in my head for some reason.
