Hi Everyone,
I have a Merc 7.4 MPI (300 hours on it) in my 1998 Maxum 2700 SCR. I have had the boat about 16 months and keep it in a slip. I have only put about 15 hours on it in the 16 months. When not in use, I have started it every month and ran until it was at operating temp. The starter has always turned a little slow but it always started in a few seconds.
last week, it just turned (slow as usual) and did not start. I thought it might be the battery, so I replaced it and no difference. This is my first fuel injected engine, so I am not sure where to start on this one. BTW, I have 1/4 tank of untreated (I know, dumb...) year old gas in it.
Any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting?
Thanks in advance for the help.
