So I was out wake boarding and it seemed like my boat had a slight loss in power but, it wasn't noticeable to anyone except me. So i thought it was in my head. Anyways i go back in and dock for a little while but a few hours later, i was heading back out and about 5 minutes in the boat completely dies. It didn't sputter or anything it just shut off when i was slowly cruising out.

I got towed back to my dock because the boat would crank but wouldnt start. Anyways id really appreciate any input on what this could possibly be. Below is a list of things I've tested or have done and still have no luck.

1.) I pulled all 8 spark plugs and verified i do have spark.
2.) I have 50-60 PSI of fuel pressure at the fuel rail.
3.) I pulled 6 mason jars of fuel out of the boat and the fuel looks fine. Its not separate or anything else and seems to be good.
4.) I put the battery on a tender and charged it up and went through to make sure the kill switch is good and all the fuses/circuit breakers are not tripped or burnt out.

The boat cranks over but it doesn't sputter or pop. It will just crank like its not even trying to start. Im probably gunna bring it to the dealer soon if i can't find anything, but i just got the thing back from the dealer at the beginning of the year and I'm trying to avoid this if possible.

I'm no mechanic by any means. pretty dumb at motor head stuff, but my 16 a20 was just at the shop last week because it wouldn't start. I also got stranded on the lake. Mine would turn over and over and over but would never start. Turns out I had a bad ignition coil. The dealer swaped it out and good as new.

I'm no expert but should like an electrical issue of some sort..? fuel pressure and spark should equal something more then a smooth crank unless your injectors are not opening to let fuel in..

Honestly this is exactly what I'm thinking as well. Id like to test the injectors but not sure if its worth possibly damaging the O-rings pulling them all out. I would think if it was injector related it would run like crap or have less power but still start. It would probably have to be a decent amount of them to cause it to not run. So I'm thinking electrical but i have no idea where to even start with that.

Im a licensed electrician by the way so electrical is not a weakness for me. I just don't know what electrical would be causing this.

I assume no check engine light? When you crank do you see oil pressure?
