My 16 laid down on me tonight. I have no power at all electrical that is my head lights want even work Checked the fuse and it is good . Was wondering if the starter switch was bad would that kill every thing. I left it and went back after an hour and it fired right up. But at the house once shut off nothing no headlights again. Tell me what you think The switch feels funny when you twist the key and i am hoping that is it . anyway thanks Dave.

bad ignition switch will do that. Also check your headlight wiring... My gt18 the headlight wires got hot, and melted to the exhaust but it would only short out when it was really hot, would shut off and not start till it cooled off again.
This sound is coming from the motor its self. And the headlight wires are ok. I will look more in the morning but i am afraid its in the motor.
Motor would not really cause all power to be lost, does it have a amp meter?
Uumh.... if it's really in the water, that could be your problem.
