Hi,
I tried searching the forum for similar issues, but couldn't find anything, so here goes.
I recently purchased a small boat for fishing, with a Yamaha 20HP 2-stroke engine and a Yamaha 703 controller. I didn't get a user manual for either, and now it seems there is something wrong with the controller. Occasionally, the starter doesn't engage on the first turn of the key, but eventually it will. One day the engine didn't cut off when I turned the key to OFF position. It didn't even cut off when I pulled the emergency cut-off wire off the controller.
To me this sounds like something (a mechanical switch?) in the controller gets stuck. Any other opinions or ideas how to tackle this problem?
