@HELP I can't get one engine to fire up! Ideas? One engine even try to fire up! No starter. Checked the fuses all are good!

Bob called me and it started while I was on the phone with him. It was the clean out hatch switch.

Sounds like his switch went out of adjustment. I had this happen several times because the plastic retaining nuts were split causing the switch to drop down out of adjustment after the hatch lid was closed a few times. Check your nuts.

Once again my friends on the board saved the day! As soon as Jerry gave me that idea and the engine fired up I looked at my wife and said "this is why we stick with a Yamaha for the next boat!". @jcyamaharider thank you very much! That would have been one long trip back in no wake mode!
