Apparently MC computer systems are hyper-sensitive, in that if you start the boat say, by jumping the batteries, or if your wiring connections are in any way weak, it goes into "limp mode" where the alarm sounds, check engine light goes on, then the computer prevents you from getting any power out of your throttle to protect the engine.
pain in the rear, cuz without the computer to reset the system or diagnose the problem, you'll end up taking it in just for that. Ah, technology!
and i say this only because it happened to us this past week.
