Kohler 7.3E Won't Start


I had my 2000 356 Aft Deck out for a cruise, with the generator running when we left the dock. Back to dock, generator was not running. Remote switch would not start it. The switch on the unit started it long enough to confirm I had cooling water. After that, the switch would not do anything. When I pulled the hatch, I noticed water on the underside of the hatch. I started the starboard engine, and raw water was spraying the engine compartment from a broken hose clamp at the heat exchanger. Replaced clamp, cleaned engine compartment, started troubleshooting generator, following Kohler service manual. I have 12v at starter switch, continuity at the switch, but LED2 does not energize when I press the start button. Manual says to replace the circuit board. Checking to see if I missed anything before I buy the board. I did not have the enclosure around the unit, so I suspect water got into the control box.
