Hard to start

Just jumping in late on this thread.. My 2022 210 FSH has the same sluggish starting problem on the starboard engine after sitting on the water without the engines running for a period of time. This generally comes after hours of fishing using just the trolling motor. Sounds like the exact problem @MrBubbaGump is describing. I initially thought it was a battery issue, replaced the <2yr old battery, issue still persists. I will get in on the temporary fixes like running it in NWM in neutral and let you guys know if this has a positive impact. Regarding continuing to hold Yamaha's feet to the fire... Any thoughts on contacting Yamaha direct to report this issue? If so, can you post the contact info you suggest. Basically I want them to come up with a fix, it is pretty ridiculous to have a 2 yr old boat that you have to jump through hoops to make sure you don't get stranded or even worse blow an engine..

 
@MrBubbaGump any updates? Did you ever check the impellers to be the correct ones?
 
I have not. Unfortunately, I have been working a lot and have had bad weekends where I'm not able to take it out. I keep my boat at a buddy's house so it's not as simple as going to my garage and pulling the pumps.
