Does this engine have the coils with the removable/plug in primary leads? If so, performing Mumbles’ tests is easier. Keep in mind that those primary connections are a big source of trouble, especially in salt water. Clean off the primary coil terminals, then pinch down the primary lead connector with needle nose pliers so it fits tightly on the coil terminal.
I am assuming this engine ran OK when you water tested it the other day, and this problem has just developed.
