motor just dies

[emtmike119]

I have a Evinrude Tracker Pro Series 115 hp. I was having some problems with the plug wires staying on. If I took the cowling off and then put it back on it would hit the plug wire and pull it out of the cap. I have zip tied them on and that seems to have fixed the problem of them coming off. The problem I am now having, and I am not sure if it related to the wire problem, is when I first start the boat it runs great. Lots of power. About 10 minutes of fling across the lake the motor just dies. Sometimes I can restart it and other times I can't. I brought it home and hooked it up to a hose. I ran it in neutral and in gear for 20 minutes and it worker great. Any thoughts?

Sounds like a power pack to me. It will run fine on muffs without the backpressure of the lake but in the water it wants to die.

[emtmike119]

So whats that mean?

[ChampioNman]

Means change the power pack.

[emtmike119]

Is that going to be a costly repair

[ChampioNman]

Depends what is the model number of your motor? The tag should be on the port side mounting bracket about half way up should start TE115____

Its a CDI box right

[ChampioNman]

CDI makes many components. If you are calling a power pack a CDI box then yes it is a CDI box.

[emtmike119]

is there any way I can test it?

When the motor starts shutting off on you, get you a spark tester and see if you have any spark. check both banks. the one without spark will be the one you will need to replace.

[emtmike119]

Thanks I was wondering the same thing

[emtmike119]

Just an update. I replaced the plugs and plug wires. Took the boat to the lake and it runs like a top. I have been out 3 times and have had no problems at all. Thanks for all your help guys. This resource is the best.
