Last August put a new 115 on a "new" 2008 Hurricane. It's been out a dozen times with few issues however two weeks ago I was trimming up at WOT and the motor seemed to shut down for a second. This problem happened two more times that day. Yesterday I was running down the ICW and noticed a similar problem. Then it just started to cut out while running and finally quit completely. Once dead it intermittently would show voltage on gauge but would not crank. Before shutting down, all gauges started going haywire. Trim on the cowling was even dead. Boat had electricity and was able to trim up two hours later on the tow home. Besides being stupid for not heading straight to the ramp, what is going on?

Check all electrical connections for the battery cables at the battery and the motor. Check the condition of any connections at a battery switch if one is used. -
The main positive wire on the motor was totally loose. I guess the installer didn't torque that to spec. My son and I put a couple hours on her today...upwind and current from the ramp
