I think that is jasonsmith....he is on OSO. Maybe he can chime in.

I have always started mine one at a time but it's just personal preference.

Personally, I think one of the best sounds in boating, its starting the second motor. (And/or subsequent motors thereafter.)

Ditto. Start one at a time and watch your gauges. nothing better then having the second engine start up!!!

One at a time. Get one started, then let its alternator help the batteries start the second.

One at a time here - I'm not talented enough to turn both keys at the same time...

Starting both engines at the same time is very hard on your muffler bearings......not to mention what it will do to the coolant levels in your alternators.....

LMAO! :D

With great advice like that, why would anyone try to start both engines at the same time! :p

When your props are 3 feet below the bottom of the boat....you can do that.
