    1996 Ski Nautique - Electrical Power Loss Upon Ignition

    Hi All,

    I'm having a very confusing issue.

    I have a 1996 Ski Nautique with the Throttle Body PCM Chevy 5.7/350

    I was out on the water late last year and was returning to the boat launch when I heard a "pop" at the rear of the engine and had complete electrical power loss.

    Got the boat home and didn't start to mess with it until a couple of weeks ago.

    Due to several other things going on I replaced the following parts.

    Battery (Battery tender said it was bad)
    50amp push breaker at the rear of the engine
    Starter relay
    Had the starter rebuilt.

    The problem I am having now is when I try to turn the key over for ignition, I immediately lose power to the dash and the back of the engine has a little "click". I checked the push breaker for continuity and to see if it was blown and it was not. Power returns between 5-20 minutes later but when I try to turn the key over, the same thing happens.

    I'm confused as to why I would intermittently lose power for a period of time and then for it to come back on later just to repeat the issue.

    My next thought is to replace the ignition switch.

    If anyone has a wiring diagram for this boat that would be awesome, But I can't seem to find one.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks!
