with the rope being ingested and the electrical issue happening right after. My hope was that you pull the pump and there would be something interfering with the stator.
I heard the clicking prior to this weekend.
Originally I was thinking it was an issue with my amp I recently installed. So I removed the amp Friday night.

I’m sure I could pull the pump but I never have done that before so I’m a bit cautious.

I guess I could YouTube it.

I called the dealership and they are a week out for service. I’m tempted to try to do some troubleshooting tonight and if I hit a wall, drop it off tomorrow.

Like everyone else, I don’t want to miss a weekend since I only have so many a season here in NJ.

The clicking noise might be a relay
Talking with my brother who is a car mechanic, he said the same thing. I’d much rather fix it myself if I can. Don’t want to lose boating time.

Well the dealership had my boat for 2 weeks.
Told me they couldn’t replicate the symptoms I was having (clicking while cranking engines and code 144 which caused engines not to start)

Dealership said they found “dirty” throttle body connections and now the engines should run like tops.

They then sent me a $565 invoice......

In their invoice, they mentioned a 2 hour sea trial. I documented my hour meter and they only put 0.4 hours on the engines.

They also didn’t tell me they were gonna clean the throttle bodies (which they are telling me isn’t under warranty)

I told them I’m not paying the invoice

I get the boat back and still the SAME issues!

Motors crank forever. Sometimes they start..sometimes they don’t.

And the grill igniter sound is still there while I’m cranking the motors.

I called Yamaha corporate today to document my case.

Well, the original poster hasn’t been around since February of 2021 so I’m not sure we will get an answer unless someone else knows.

Back hatch a lot.another problem. If it doesn't crank up, the throttle may not be in neutral.
