Honda 150 intermittently quits

[cedric]

I have a Honda 150, 2004, 153 hours, on a Hurricane deck boat, had since new, always very reliable till yesterday. Engine just died while cruising. Immediately started again with no problem. Happened twice during day. Not rough, ran smoothly after restart. Later in day, same thing, just quit. Would not restart. Motor would not turn over. I had power(battery; radio, depth finder, etc. worked fine) but nothing on the ignition switch or trim. Would not operate at all. Got a tow into dock. 30 minutes later, hit the starter switch and it cranked right up. Checked the owners manual and it says to check the fuses. Checked and all seems good. Nothing worse than intermittent problems. Can someone advise me? Thanks

You are losing battery power to your engine. Not sure of your battery set up, but check and clean battery connections, then tighten down well. Then go to your starter solenoid and remove, clean, and reconnect each wire. Also, you will have a main ground wire going from battery battery negative pole to the motor casing. Find where that terminates, remove, clean thoroughly, and reconnect.
