Took Barn out Saturday morning to try some different areas.
Put the boat in the water and the trim on the throttle wouldn't work. Trim switch on the motor and the front of the boat work fine.
Strange, boat started just fine. Took off across the lake and noticed the RPM, Speed and Fuel gage weren't working. Stopped the boat and turned the motor off thinking the key was not centered making contact for the gages. Gages didn't come on and now the motor won't start.
Checked fuses and have power to everything except the stuff running off the power through the throttle.
Long story short, didn't do much fishing, but did accomplish some good ole fashion cussin' without blasphemy.

Did catch a few fish, but no crappies.

Interesting part of the trip was putting the camera down to see how my condos have faired through the high water. Found out I need to redesign them as they are laying on their sides. All of them have rolled with the water pressure.

I'll let you know what the redesign looks like after I figure it out.

Sounds like a corrosion problem to me. Clean all your battery connections real good and see if that helps you out. Good luck, Ferdi aka Fred

You were right Ferdi.
But is wasn't the battery or grounds.

The connector between the control box and gages is corroded out.
Somehow got some type of liquid in between the male and female 10 pin connectors.

No clue how the liquid got in there as both ends are sealed and there is an o-ring and a lock down feature to compress the o-ring. My guess is the person who assembled it didn't put in dielectric grease but sprayed in the wrong liquid. Could have possibly been assembled in the rain too. We were getting daily deluges and they could have had the motor outside with the cowling off.

Gonna run be $30.00 to change it from one ten pin connector to two five pin connectors. Picking up some Borg Warner weather pack connectors from the auto store.
