1989 Sea Ray 180 135 hp Mainer --- Wont start

[Nicolemarie123]

First time boat owner... It has been about a month since I used my boat I went to take it out and it wont start!! It sounds like it wants to but wont. I have a full tank of gas. The spark plugs all looked good and I even used started fluid and still nothing. Dose anyone have any tips that I should try thanks. The last time I took the boat out it ran great and started right up.

does your motor have the the safety lanyard that hooks around a toggle switch if you do make sure that didn't get bumped.

If she wont start using ether, you do not have any spark. Be careful with that ether, as you can easily start a fire. I would recommend you confirm the no-spark condition and trouble shoot the ign system. CDIElectronics had troubleshooting procedures on their web site.
