Just bought a Utopia 185 with the Optimax 200
Started it and was running rough.
Checked compression and it was fine (120- 130 psi across all 6)
Checked spark, fine on 4 cylinders, one had a hole in the spark plug boot and was shorting (I repaired it) and one was not sparking at all (I assume a bad coil)
In the middle of testing, I noticed that the boat stopped beeping and the fuel pumps stopped priming when turning over the engine.
Switched out relay and now its beeping and fuel pumps are priming but no spark on any of the cylinders.
I checked the fuses on the motor and in the hull by the cutoff switch.
Any idea of what to check next?
Thanks!
