Learned something new this past weekend. I was driving an older outboard Mastercraft towing a skier. When done with the person's run and turning off the engine, it wouldn't start again. All I got was a click. Did some troubleshooting and banging but no luck. So I got a tow from another ski boat using a ski rope w/out the handle from their ski pylon to the front of the boat I was driving where the trailer strap hooks on. After getting up to about 15mph, I turned the key to on (not start), and throttled forward. Voila! It started running like a champ again. I tried this at the suggestion of the person towing. I never knew you could do this on a boat like on a stick shift car. Good info for the future.
