Hoping to get some advice on what may be the issue with my engine.
OB: 2005 F225TXRD
Boat: 2005 - 2520XL Mod V
Scenario has happened twice this year.
Run the boat for approximately 30 min at cruising speed to local halibut spot.
Fished for approximately 1.5 hours with motor running and occasionally putting it in forward and reverse to position the boat over Hali hump.
After fishing and while running back to harbor, boat is at cruising speed the engine dies. No warning alarms.
The engine just died, no sputtering and never runs rough.
Immediately turn key to the off position.
When I try to restart the motor all I get is a alarm.....the engine does not try to kick over.
So now we are heading in on the kicker...........after approximately 1 hour ride I attempt to restart the the motor.
This time when I turn the key to start the engine the alarm sounds and the motor wants to turn over, but will not start.
Pulled the boat in prep for a mechanic to take a peek at........the following day approximately 24 hours after it died the motor starts.
When the motor is running it runs good never feels under powered or bogging down.
I am also running a HT 8 hp kicker off the same fuel tank and have not had any issues.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
