Okay, as it turns out, I am a complete tool! Check the simple stuff first! That safety lanyard that I never remove...was removed. Once installed...wow, it fired right up. Lesson learned!

Medic,

Not a tool at all. I've got a buddy that has a Sea Ray Pachanga (first mistake) that had to get towed off the lake one day because of the same problem. Did I mention he is a mechanic by trade? Yeah, he went straight into checking all the majors and overlooked the minors. We've all been there, keep your chin up!

Been there, done that.

Dear MC,

Please display an alert on the VDIG/BIG/Dash that indicates the lanyard circuit is open.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Just finished looking like an idiot in front of my friends.

lol... good finding that....not a tool at all. friend had a mechanic in a marina take apart key starter and pull starter...only to find safety lanyard pulled off. mechanic put his tail between his legs and offered by buddy a beer for the waste of time....simple first - unless you're a MC fanatic I guess...lol.

As I was towing some guy in a Baja 242 Islander about 5 miles to his trailer last weekend I thought about asking him if his lanyard had come off. I didn't ask, but I probably should have. He bought the boat that morning and it quit on his first day out. He wasn't too happy, so I left him alone. On top of all that he was from Nebraska, so he was a long way from home at Table Rock.
