Well another SugarSand!!! Can't help with the windscreens but the cold start issue seems quite common with the carbed motors.Mine is injected so I don't have the problem but alot of guys rewirethe primer so it can be operated by pushing the key or a button.I think someone posted a how to tutorial on jetboating.net.Place is pretty dead but you could dig around and most likely find it [ hope that won,t get me banished 
]. It seems like they lose prime and the primer only operates when the starter engages so you wind up cranking the hell out of it.Sorry I couldn't be more help

The 2 stroke mercury v6 engine needs more fuel for cold starts like most 2 stroke engines I always placed a small electric fuel pump just before the carbs but after the vacuum pump , this keeps the fuel pressure constant and primes the system just by turning on the key. I have done this with o m c engines and older 2 stroke sea doo pwc's it works great and is very inexpensive just buy a 3 to 5 pound small electric pump and connect it to a terminal on the engine that has power with the key on. you will also notice a very smooth sound to your engine when cruising as opposed to a varying pitch caused by inconsistent fuel pressure from the vacuum pump. These are very small fuel pumps so they fit just about everywhere.
