"On 3 occassions now my df 250
"On 3 occassions now my df 250 has completely shut down while driving around 4800 rpms most of the time. The engine will then sometimes not start and I will have no power to the key or throttle but the trim on the engine itself will work. The last time this occured I was stuck for four hours so I eliminated all in line fuses and still did not work. I checked fuses under cal of engine and they were fine and seem to work since when taken out I had no trim at the engine but when replaced I did. I called a friend to tow me in and then all of the sudden it fired up when I tried it again. I quickly got back and trailered the boat and stopped and started the engine several times and it is working fine. This seems to be random but why would I lose power to the key,guages, and throttle but not the trim on the engine itself. I can not repeat this situation so am at a loss as what to tell the boat shop to work on?"
