Intermittent cut outs when I get up on plane or hit the trim down when starting to slow.
The motor cuts out and kills without an alarm going off. Put a new battery in thinking that was the problem with a voltage reduction but still got the gremlin. Any ideas? Anyone?
I’m not electronic inclined and don’t want to spend $85/hr having it in the shop chasing a loose wire.
Last year mine would cut out at full throttle to half power or no power. Changed the plugs and no problems since. Not saying this is the same, but maybe it’ll help. Good luck.
What year and size?

bullcans,if you cant make it act up consistently,ie,every time you trim down which would make one think its an electrical problem at the throttle control or a loose wire somewhere.
try removing the primer bulb and replacing it with short piece of pipe or tubing,sometimes when they age the check balls can get sucked tight enough into the line they will shut the fuel off to the motor and you wont get an alarm.
also check the fuel hose coming from the tank,it can swell right at the fitting and the pump is strong enough to collapse it there shutting off the fuel.
we are starting to see more and more fuel line and primer bulb problems as these things get older.
I know we talked about an electrical issue a month ago,if checking the fuel lines doesnt reveal anything send me a pm,I may just have to come to northern Iowa to get some fishing time in with you.
Check the key switch, had a similar problem with a 98 opti.
The motor is 16 years old, have you replaced the fuel lines?
Have the coils checked.
Some of those Opti’s had coil issues.
