I did the exact same thing three years ago. I took my son and his friend fishing. They were on the fish, having a great time, then the TM all of a sudden quit. I was checking everything with no luck. I fire up the outboard and load the boat up. They were bumming big time! The next day I’m looking things over and see the switch on the foot control, flip it, and good as new!
Looking back, they were taking turns running the TM and one of them must’ve hit the switch.
