I know how difficult these things are to diagnose over the internet but I am just looking for directions that I might look.
I took the boat over to get gas this weekend. The boat ran fine both on plane and at displacement speeds. I took about 15 minutes to get there however, after fueling, my starboard engine refused start. It turns over just fine but it is just cranking and not even attempting to fire.
I checked the obvious things like if the key was turned on and the switch was on on the panel. I also swapped out the distributor cap as I had one on board. The only thing that has been going on with the boat is that the emergency notification panel on the dash will randomly start screeching and every LED on the panel will light up. It does that even when I am just sitting the dock with the engines off. It will last anywhere from a second to almost a minute.
I am leaning towards something electronic as the motor was running fine one minute and now it won't fire at all.
Any ideas on where to look before I make the one engined trip to the shop?
