Hello I have a 1996 225 Marine

Hello I have a 1996 225 Mariner 3.0 I was running at full throttle and it just died. What could be the problem?
 
How about a little more info.

How about a little more info. Does it start back up? Did you check for spark? Fuel?
 
"Ok, no spark when it quit, ho

"Ok, no spark when it quit, how about a couple hours later? still no spark?

Obviously time to troubleshoot the ignition.

I would rule out the stator, it has 6 windings and each winding individually feeds a respective (coil) for each cylinder.

So either all 6 bobbins died at the same time or all 6 cdm died at the same time or the issue is elsewhere.

And you did not mention getting a horn or warning lights when the motor died which happens on this model when just about anything gives up.

Because of that, my guess would be the ECM - the alarms originate from it, so if it's shot it would explain the lack of spark and the lack of warning horn or lights.

The 96 model has a hook up that can be plugged into a DDT (test computer), so I would take it to Merc and have it tested."
