i have an intermittent starting problem. when turning key on starts fine , other times it dont start. when key is in the on postion the instrument gages dont come on and engine does not crank over. Interesting thing is the engine trim tab works from motor but does not work from throttle control arm. Boat was on driveway and i wanted to check to see how much gas was in tank when turn key gage did not work . about one hour later after unloading the boat of all equipment i check it again and it worked. i put ears on it and ran for 15 min or so. the next morning i checked and nothing again . 2hrs later it worked . holy cow this thing is possesed. any help would be deeply appreciated. the falll bass run is around the corner . thanks anthony

You provide no idea as to what you have, where you are, how you boat, what kind of water.....on and on?

Best guess in the total darkness........corrosion.
