Once again, I had the honor of towing in my 99 GTI...
Little background info before laying the problem(s) on you.
New SBT motor (720), Oil Block of kit, Rebuilt carb, New fuel lines, etc.

Now, we were out riding today, and I notice my wife just quit following me. Turned around and realized ski wasn't on. Pull up and she said it just died out of nowhere. No hesitation, spitting, sputtering, nothing. It was getting no power whatsoever. Pulled her in, got it home and threw a charged battery in. Nothing.
Checked fuses on the MPEM, the 5 amp fuse was blown. I just figured a 10 year old fuse was due up to blow, so I went and bought some more. Put new fuse in, and nothing. Thought, maybe the DESS went out. Pull lanyard off and hit start button 5 times to see if the gauges would light up. Nothing. Now, here is my problem. I searched on here, and most people with a similar problem either were blowing a fuse on start-up, or once it was blown, it kept blowing fuses. Mine wasn't on start-up, nor did it blow the new fuse. Still a bad MPEM?
Starter, Stator & Flywheel were all cleaned up really well when I had it apart putting the new motor in. I have about 4 hours on it now, so I don't see either of those three just instantly dying? I do suppose it is possible though.
Was able to jump the relay in the rear box by the battery, and the starter turned over. I then checked voltages on the wires and got this:
what can you tell me from here?
