Here are my symptoms:
Boat started and ran great this morning. Made a 45 minute run, docked and went into have lunch/hang out. After a few hours went to leave and the port engine would start only using the emergency start switch. As soon as I released the emergency start switch, engine died. (Nothing happened when I just pressed the port engine start switch) After several attempts, I held the switch down for an extended period of time (few minutes at most) and the engine ran fine for our run back to our slip. Once in the slip, shut down engines and same issue with the port engine.
FYI: Belts replaced in January of 2010; new batteries in April of 2010.
So, is this an alternator issue or an electrical issue.
Thanks in advance for any help
