I have a 2015 115 hp mercury outboard 4 stroke. When I try to start the motor, it starts about every third try. If I turn the motor to on, pause, then try it, it starts every time. Is this the norm?

not familiar with that motor but if it is fuel injected or has an electric pump could be that it takes few seconds to get the fuel line charged up before it is ready start.
