I’ve an intermittent starting issue that’s got me baffled. Turn battery master on, then key on yielding nothing: no power to the dashboard, no electrical up front, no crank, no initial beep in dash, dead everywhere.
This 1st happened 3.1.23 and the only time I could get it to “switch on” pointed at the neutral safety switch in the throttle control box. At that time I did not jump around the switch, manually moving the arm forward/reverse would activate the ignition startup. I changed the neutral safety switch in the box and alls well so I thought.
Boat started and ran on the lake ok 5.15.23. 6.2.23 back to the original problem of nothing anywhere. I jump around both the neutral safety switch and the kill switch in the control box w/o success. I jump around the battery control master w/o luck. Outdrive trim button always works so I went up on it while turning steering and I get some brief engine turn over then stopped then back to no power anywhere.
Gave up for the day , attack the problem once again 6.3.23 and 1st thing I turn key on and everything turns on , starts and runs normally. I cranked and started boat 5-6 times normally. 6.5.23 after buttoning all my tearing down up took the boat out and ran fine.
Any ideas WTF is going on with this boat?
So sorry for the long read.
