my 1995 bayliner with a 4.3 got caught in a heavy tstorm last night long story short, check it next morning pumped all water out of bilge wiped everything down, then i decided to crank the engine and it started (cool) no damage. Then boom it died tried to resart died agian, will not start now. im reading about the oil switch sending power to the fuel pump. can anyone help please?

Ok how's the oil first. What happens when you turn the key exactly. Does it crank?

the oil pressure switch is disconnected or bad. by-pass it for testing.
