Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Engine Cuts off and Power Trim

Hello,

I purchased a 1998 Ventura 18'a couple of months ago and it's been great to me up until now.

The past two trips that I've been out I've experienced the same two issues that I think might be combined.

1. After a day of use, starting the engine is difficult and it cuts off at any speed
2. After a day of use, the Power Trim either works or barely works.

I am wondering if it's possibly the solenoid or some part of the electric starter? I'm wondering for any tips to diagnose.

The engine is a: J150EXECD

Thanks in advance
