I have a 2013 Epic 21V Wake boat was running rough at low idle so had tune up done at my marine now it will not start turns over but will not run . They have just about changed and checked everything. The boat ran great at higher rpm . Motor has no codes they have checked the all the sensors, fuses (if they found them all) but have came up with nothing . So just asking if anybody knows something they don't and the kicker is Epic went out of business 2019 so I am S.O.L for any wiring schematics .

Welcome to iBoats . . .

The wiring of significance is going to be engine related, so you should see about getting the engine manual, if you don't have one.

3 things to make the engine run . . .
  • fuel
  • compression
  • spark
It would be best to figure out which one you don't have.

Did the marina give you the boat back in a non-running condition?

Is there a lanyard at the control box that may have come loose?

They still have it. I know it has compression and fuel but spark it will only spark once then nothing . I think its something they hit or unplugged just enough for it not to run , bad ground or corrosion on a plug. They did say it needed a software update and they did do that so I told them to flash it back to the old version. I am waiting to hear back from them today .

Tune up done and now it will crank but not start, did someone happen to trip the kill switch?

They said they checked it and it gets only one spark. I know it has the DTS throttle with the kill switch built into it . Was trying to find a schematic on that but no luck.

Do you hear any beeps when key is turned ON?
Went to the Marine last night and ask the service manger if I could take a look at it his go for it . Only took me about 30min to find the problem they had the wrong cap and rotor kit in it.

That’s disturbing but glad you found the problem!
Are they refunding what you paid…
