Yes I'll check the kill switch teather ,and I'll start checking ground straps and wires....what I thought was odd was that warning beep went away then all the sudden came back? Should I not worry about that?

Sounds like what I posted to me and again have your volt meter with you for testing all 12 v sources and any relays

Sounds like the lanyard - try pushing in the red button to see if the alarm sounds, mine does the very same ! Why I'm taking my boat to BUP for a few things!

BUP- hopefully this week if my schedule permits !

Hate to even mention this again, but besides the no beep issue, that sounds an awful lot like vapor lock that I have experienced a few times.

If it was a vapor lock issue how would you correct it? Why would it start and idle for 5 min or so then stumble and die

As bup asked earlier, what year is the boat? Have you owened it long, a little history would help.

As BUP stated you will need to get 12volt references and ability to check those that require the source.

A simple alligator clip jumper from a know battery source (battery is best) to +side of coil to stabilize the ignition.. It could answer some questions if your lanyard or other issue is the root.

LIke others have said. Could be tether or bad kill switch. There is also a hot wire that triggers that buzzer. If it lost power it will not start either. Mine is loose... I redid my dash panel and tried cranking the other day and after pulling the key panel and sticking my hand in the dash.. After moving some wires, buzzer came back on and she cranked right up.

Good luck, I hate freakin elec gremlins!
