Hi all,
This past weekend i took my boat out sat and sun. On sat every ran fine. On sunday, however, i guess i had a little bad luck. Everything was going fine until i decided to stop and turned everything off for a moment and enjoy the day. When i tried to turn on my engine through the ignition switch, i noticed that there was no start. I pressed the tilt button and it was dead as well. However, my nav, fishfinder, compass light, horn, vhf all turn on. I did notice that the key is not necessary for all devices to turn on. At first, i thought my battery had died, but i gave it a jump and nothing. So far, i've checked most cables inside the console and they look fine to me. I found 3 cables that had fuses connected and they are good. Also, the fuse that goes from the tilt motor to the engines positive line is good. I managed to turn on the engine by placing a screw driver to the starters negative and positive and the engine ignited just fine. I've only had this boat for three weeks and it already gave me problems. I have a 1992 proline 190 with a 1992 Yamaha 115Q. I'm unable to figure out where this issue is coming from. Tomorrow im thinking of unwrapping all cables and see if theres any other fuses i havent looked at. Has any if you ran into this issue before, or any ideas of what else i should be checking?
I remember back then i used to put the key on ignition, and the fuel meter would activate. now its not doing that.
