Hello all, very intermittent problem with this boat, won't crank. It's hard to troubleshoot because it is so intermittent. I am an electronic tech so I know what to do, but generally by the time you try anything it cranks and runs. Several years ago, I replaced the starter solenoid for a different problem, the boat would crank and start but the starter kept running. Also intermittent, but when I took the original (I assume) solenoid off and took it apart, the contacts were not looking good. That solved that problem, and then a couple years later, it started this "no crank" symptom. Hard to believe that the solenoid failed after 3 or 4 years, when the original was nearly 30. I changed the ignition switch, still happened. Usually, if you just move the gear shift forward and back a few times, or wait a while, it cranks and starts. I changed the neutral safety switch, no help, changed the whole assembly, haven't driven much in the last few years, so I thought it was fixed. Sold it this summer, and it happened to the new owner a week ago. Just trying to help him out, told him to join this forum.
Thanks, Brian. New owner is Brian too, maybe he'll see this.
