I have a 2003 SeaRay Sundeck 220 with a Mercruiser 5.0 MPI 260 HP Alpha 1 drive. I can put the boat in the water and it starts and runs with no problems. I can run around for an hour or more starting and stopping, shutting the engine off and restarting, no problems. If I stop and sit for 30 minutes or more, the engine will turn over and not start of if it does start it idles rough and then dies when I try to put it in gear (just like the symptoms for a bad shift interrupter). If I pull off the positive end to the battery cable and then reattach it the boat starts and goes in to gear with no problem and runs fine. Is there some component or relay that gets tripped or reset when the battery cable is removed? I tried just turning off the power switch but it didn't work. You have to remove the battery cable. Ideas?
