What about the rest of the boat?  Were the batteries drained?  It could be 
something as simple as a corroded key  switch that could shut down the panel, 
but that would not generally kill the engine.  Is there a pushbutton kill 
switch (momentary contact variety) or a cable to kill the engine?

Subject: Stus-List Landfall 38 Engine issues

 

I have a 1984 C&C 38 Landfall with a Westerbeke W27  

On Saturday I was out for a sail going out was fine no issues but when we were 
on our way back to the Marina under power the engine shut down. No bangs no 
sputtering no warning alarms just stopped. When I went to restart the engine I 
had no power at the Engine panel. Got towed in. First thought was fuel but that 
wouldn't cause the Electrical issues I don't think. Then perhaps the alternator 
was gone but I plugged it into shore power and left it for 24 hours but still 
dead. So after some google research and reading I'm suspecting it is a fuse or 
breaker. But for the life of me I can not find these items. Hoping someone 
might be able to point me in the general vicinity of such items before I rip 
the boat apart looking for them. Or perhaps someone who has experience this 
before and knows the fix. 

 

Thanks for any help
