Hi folks,<br />I could really use some help. I have a 98 Nitro with 98 Mercury Tracker 75hp. When I launch it each time, it start right up. Then after I shoot out to a hole and turn it off, it won't start up again. It's sounds like it's trying to turn over but won't start. Once I keep trying to turn it over and after 10 minutes I got it to start again.<br />I check the spark plugs and they look ok. I took the cover off, when I was stranded and it looked dry inside. The boat had a half tank of gas when I bought it and it was in storage. I filled it 3/4 full with good gas and proper mix but it does not seem to be helping. Does anyone know why this would be happening...I want a reliable boat..it starts right up, but then no go...any help would be greatly appreciated!!<br /><br />Pat

Is the starter turning the engine over at "full cranking speed" or is the engine just not "running/starting" Im trying to see your problem.
