Been there, my friend. Just this past weekend we were catching bait at a weir, and when we pulled up, the motor sputtered and cut off. Never happened before. So I go to crank it. Absolutely nothing. Seems like something electrical. I've got two buddies who are just dying to fish, and I'm tinkering with the motor (knowing nothing about how to fix what is obviously an electrical problem). I tinker and crank, lather rinse repeat, for about twenty minutes. Then I notice the thing is still in gear from when it stalled. Popped it in neutral, and presto. Felt like a total idiot.
