Pulling my hair out and any help appreciated. Take out my machine and it will fire up when first put in the water. I dock it and go park my van and then will not restart. Does this over and over. Tried with brand new battery and still does this. any help greatly appreciated.

Check your:

1) Compression
2) Air pressure
3) fuel pressure

Get those numbers, and let us know.

Will get those and post back. I should have mentioned as well that it seems to be killing/draining batteries. Had tried another battery that had good reading upon putting it in but afterwards it was pretty much drained.

Well... that's HUGE. If you have a bad regulator... it will do all kinds of crazy stuff with a Di engine. Bad power into the computer... and it can cause issues.
