HELP! I have a OptiMax 200 that has 33 hours. Here's the situation: No issues starting the engine when first putting in at the ramp, and no issues when first running down the lake. I run short distance due to the water I'm fishing. I'll then troll around for 2 to 3 hours fishing and then try and fire up the motor. Turns over and tries to fire, but just doesn't "catch". I've been stuck 3x now and had to troll back to the ramp. I've had it in for service after each time and the engine is checking in with no problems. The time before last, they said my ignition switch was bad and replaced. After the new switch, I was out this past weekend and you guessed it, ran fine when I first put in, then after a few hours of no use, I could not get it started again.
I run a Lowrance 332c GPS / Fishfinder and really is the only thing I have powered up when fishing.
Alternator was check and is good.
I thought about the batteries. I had the cranking battery and trolling batts tested, they show as good batteries. Volts look fine when starting (~13V) and running (~14V).
When they have it at the shop, they can't duplicate the problem.
HELP???
