Did you buy the engine manual? Ignition key O'K - alarm when starting? If you've owned the boat for 6 months I'd look around wiggle wiring harness check the fuses, get on your back. Look for the obvious stuff, google the problem. RINDA products are the industry standard for scan tools as I understand it. Also Kinda expensive for one engine unless you can share the cost. Good luck.
You were spot on SAB220 - it was the battery after all that. Thanks for the help.

AND identify with duct tape the month and year the battery purchased/installed, and the warranty. This just tells me how much "trust" I have in the battery.
