Last week-end I started my 50 HP Honda BF50A, ran it for about 5 minutes then stopped to jump in the lake. When I turned the ignition nothing happened at all. Even the Power trim would not operate. Had to be towed in.
This happened earlier in the season after I ran about a mile, but then it started after I let it sit for a couple of hours. After the first time i went out and bought 2 brand new deep cycle batteries.
The boat has been sitting in the slip in middle Tennessee for a couple of days now and still nothing. No ignition and no trim. The radio and horn works. I tried a screwdriver across the starter leads and got a big spark so I'm pretty sure I've got a good batteries.
Strange, to me anyway, it ran fine for about 2 months after I bought the new batteries but now here I am again. Any help would be geatly appreciated.
Thanks Jeff
