Hi ,
I have just bought this 2000 wellcraft 186ss. It has a volvo penta 4.3GL PEFS motor . I took it on our family vacation. It started just fine then. But When i took it out on the water. for anytime. Then parked it for like a half hour .Then go to start it . It would start some times and other times it wouldnt. But I would have to be towed in for the day. The next day it would start again . But i couldnt shut it off anytime . Or it wouldnt start. But then one of those days. The starter wouldn't disengage . So i put it on trailer . But ive checked all relays that I could find. They are all good. Then took starter off and checked to see if it was working properly. Then put it back in . It started then disengaged . Then engaged again. But to shut it off I have to chock it out to shut it off. The key doesn't shut it off. the kill switch doesn't shut it off. What to check to eliminate things. Please help.
