Hey guys, new poster here with a couple of questions concerning the 235 listed in the topic line. First, after starting up fine at the ramp, and running fine all day, just recently, I've developed a condition of the motor not starting back up, unless I let it sit for a half hour or so. I did discover the wire from the starboard side power pack to the lower starboard ignition coil was "weak" inside the insulation, but apparently not broken(it is now though...). Could this have been the culprit? Secondly, what is the ground wire that appears to originate in the lower unit somewhere and terminates on the steering arm just under the engine compartment? Thanks for any ideas.
