Hi all,

I got the 150 HP Optimax Saltwater fitted on my MAKO 192CC. The other day I went out with the boat and the engine fired up as usual. Had no problems with the engine. Yesterday when I planned to go out again, it did not start. The starter turns the engine, but it refuses to fire up. I checked the fuel hose, all seems ok. I checked and verified that the gear were in neutral, ok. I checked if there were something with the dead-man stop, but this one also checks out. Last I did was to dismount one of the spark plugs, connect it to the spark cable and try to start up, I could not observe any sparks at all. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Appreciate any tip coming in on this one.
