Hi, I’m new to boating and have a 2002 SeaRay 182 Bowrider with a 4.3L mercruiser 190hp. I just bought it in May and it has a hard time cold starting. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Battery and fuel are all fine. I'll try pumping the throttle, I haven't heard of this before. Thanks!
Thanks, I bought the boat through a brokerage at a dealer, I’ll see if I can get ahold of him. When you pump the throttle, does the key have to be on the “on” position? Or do I just pump, then advance the throttle and then turn the key to start? Thanks again
Thanks for the comment. It’s normally about 10-15 seconds before it starts. I’m just worried I’m wrecking my starter or draining my battery too much. Is 10-15 seconds turning over normal to cold start?
Thank you so much! this is great, I'll definitely try this on the weekend. Great help from everyone
Thanks again, Should I start pumping before or after I start to crank the engine?
