Looking for a cover for my Sportster LX that can withstand the elements here in the midwest until my indoor storage situation can be resolved. Any recommendations on fabrics, manufacturers, # of vents/supports etc. would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

Hey guys, I recently posted about another issue regarding fuel pressure after my engine suddenly started sputtering and conking out, and loud whine from the pump - can see more in my original thread on it. Narrowed down to fuel issue, changes filters, cleaned screens, and replaced the pump. Finally got pressure back at the rail...and now the engine won’t turn over after making these repairs... I had a marine tech come do a scan to see what it could be as it’s become beyond my level of diagnostic. He seems to think it’s the ECM. Yet it seems so coinciden diéntale my ECM would die (only 380 hours on the boat) right after solving the other problem with fuel delivery. my question is, is there anything that could have been related from the pump issue that’s causing this ? Or did my limp back to my dock after the pump initially started to go cook my engine / overheat the ECM? before replacing the pump, the engine was turning over, yet wouldn’t stay running. Now it won’t turn over at all. Marine tech thinks ECM is blocking the signal to turn over, sending 0 RPM. See link for trying to turn over while scanner is connected. We also changed the ignition module to rule that out as it was a $40 change out vs. A $1200 ECM. thoughts ? Ideas on what to narrow in on before replacing ECM? Could the new pump have changed anything (Direct Indmar replacement, only change was it doesn’t have the line to dump fuel back into tank) , or did I really fry the ecm from my limp back to the dock, and it just was ready to die anyway (even though the week after, before replacing the pump, it would start?). I’m losing my mind here and going to go broke if I have to replace every part unnecessarily !

I've had multiple icm failures. They last about 20 mins. 2003 response lxi with 335 monsoon. Problems with boat lately have been fuel pump fuse went. Finally traced and replaced. Ran well on the lake for about 20 mins. Died again, this time no spark. Replaced original coil with an upgraded Accel coil, still no spark, replaced original icm with aftermarket one. Fired right up. Ran 20 mins on the lake and died again. Put original icm back on and she ran great all day. Next day out boat died after 20 mins. Replaced original Delco icm again with aftermarket one, fired up and ran good again for 20 mins then died. Another aftermarket icm in glove box, swapped ran 20 mins strong back to dock and died. Anyone have an idea what is killing my icm so fast? Boat temp is normal. Could the upgraded coil be killing my icm? Ordered a new ac delco icm haven't received it yet. Wiring harness from coil to icm? I'm at a loss.
