Hello all. I have a 2000 Stingray with a 4.3L Mercruiser and having an issue starting the motor. I apologize if this was posted elsewhere, but I have tried searching all the posts and haven't found the same issue.
When I turn the key, all electronics work including the oil alarm. When I go to crank the engine, nothing happens...most of the time. If I keep turning the key it eventually catches and then fires up. What I don't know is whether this is an ignition switch (where the key is) or a coil or something else. Any suggestions would be very helpful as I have irritated kids and a wife ready to go boating.
Thanks!!
