2021 Yamaha 195s won’t crank after engine was turned off in gear

Family was out tubing and we slowed down to change kids and I turned off the boat while it was still in forward (slow speed, but not neutral). I noticed it was in gear, clicked it back into neutral (I’m certain) but when I turned the key, the engine wouldn’t crank; similar to having the stern access port hatch open.

I had to turn off/on the battery and I tried moving the throttle in and out of gear. Luckily, something worked because it started again (few!) and we headed back to the dock. I was able to replicate the issue at the dock, but I can’t figure out what sequence I need to follow to get the boat fired up again.

Has anyone else experienced this? I’m wondering if my neutral safety is defective?

I’ve only seen this if the boat was not completely in neutral.
