1st bass boat...need some help.

[Autopilot]

I recently bought an '84 Bomber with a 40hp Mariner. The boat is in very good shape for its age. When I got the boat he allowed me to take it to a shop to get it inspected to make sure everything was working before we finalized the sale. The mechanic said that everything was great but that it could use a new water pump. The new water pump was $150 installed. The boat was running perfect when I picked it up on friday. Started on the 1st try.

I got the boat home and was cleaning it out to get it ready for the water this week. My buddy came over and he was messing with stuff on the console. He pulled the pin on the kill switch and put it back in...just messing around with it. Not 2 mins before that I had turned the key and the motor turned over fine. Since he has engaged and disengaged the kill switch the motor is getting no juice at all.


I thought that there may be a bad position on the kill switch. I unplugged the wires and used another wire to bypass the kill switch and it didnt work. Is there something Im missing? I really hate to drag it back to the shop if there is something simple I'm over looking.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
