It continued to do this while I tried to make it back to my dock. Every time I put the throttle down it would cut out at 4k rpm's and just idle. As I made my way back I tried it again and it then started cutting out at 3k rpm's, so I just idled back to my dock. After being back at my dock and checking the oil level (which was fine) I tried starting the motor and had a dead battery. My question is this...Would a bad alternator cause the loss of power to the motor?
