Hadi my old speedboat would always start but it had this same surge thing at idle in the no wake zones -- I would notice it a night the most since the lights were on.

My mech. changed out the alt too and no fix -- he spent many hours on this one and it in the end turned out to be a multi-junction connector on the wire harness that had a bunch of corrosion on it and after a replacement of the mega connector all was well.

He never did figure it out it was the factory that actually came up with the idea to check that connector--

he only charged me $100 in the end since that was all the repair should have cost.

he told me that he had at least 100 hours in the investigation however -- good thing he is one of my neighbors and a good friend too!! lucky me on that one.
