I cannot get the starboard motor to engage in no wake mode. I replaced plugs, unhooked battery and no improvement. There are no codes showing. Would the throttle cable adjustment be my next step? Thank you..

Thanks for all the help everyone. It is greatly appreciated.
 
I just had this happen today on my ‘16 ar240, worked fine after I restarted a few hours later. The only thing I could think that I did differently was not give it long enough to “boot” up when I first turned the keys to on. It was my starboard engine not working with no wake and that was the one that I stated first. I normally turn the keys and let the beep stop but may have jumped the gun a little when turning over the engines. Worked fine when I first launched, then I turned them off to get setup for tubing and it didn’t work after restart.
Did you have any more issues or figure anything out?
 
Mine continues to work intermittently. I have read that a bad battery/voltage issue can be a cause. My house battery is getting some years on it and I did give it a charge and no wake worked on both engines. Then sometimes not. The manual says 5 seconds in first position before engaging the no wake but that does not always work.
 
Based on experience so far with my 2020 242SE, I've found that the detents on the binnacles can be sensitive and if I push a little too hard on the port-engine binnacle into the forward or reverse detent, it'll drop out of no-wake on that engine and try to return to normal throttle mode. Not sure if I'm alone on this but I'm thinking the binnacle may need some adjustment or replacement.
