I was out on the boat yesterday, and killed the engine for about 20 minutes after cruising around for about an hour. when I went to start her back up, I had the radio on and the blower running, but she wouldn't turn over. So I removed the key, turned the ignition switch off and back on, and then I was able to start her back up. <BR> <BR>I'm certain Ive started the boat with the blower on before, but could that be the reason it wouldn't start? <BR> <BR>anyone else experience something similar?

Your positive the throttle was in neutral? <BR>Clean the contacts on the back of your dead man swtich. And make sure the connector itself is in good shape.

is that the same as a kill switch? the small switch that has a wrist lanyard attached? <BR> <BR>If that's what your're referring to, my boat doesn't have one.

sounds like maybe the boat was in gear? maybe just a tad over the threshold of being able to start.

The throttle was definitely in neutral.

Yea, dead man switch = kill switch. <BR> <BR>Maybe corroded contacts on the back of the ignition switch?

good thinking bill, I'll check that out.
