I just "inherited" a boat as the father in law no longer wants to deal with it,...not trying to give the impression it is a piece of crap or there is a lot wrong with it, he took VERY good care of it!!! That being said, there is one problem that just started recently and I am a 3 hour drive to a boat mechanic so i would like to try and sort it out myself if I could.
When I try to start the boat I can turn the key and the normal annoying horn will sound but when I try to actually start it sometimes it will not turn over....like there is nothing...not a sound to be heard. No clicking, no turning over nothing. If I turn the key off then on again it might do the same thing or it might start...it's completely random!!! Eventually however, turning the key on then off again will get it started. When it does start, it starts and operates normally with the exception of it cranks over 6 or 6 times before catching. It also seems to be random as to when it will do it.....this week it won't ever happen then all of a sudden....
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
