We will need some more symptoms to help out.....

Does it turn over or is there no movement at all?

Check out the FAQ on engines diagnostics and see if that helps...

Check safety lanyard and clean out hatch switches first.

 

[ToddW850]

Check your lanyard and make sure you clean out hatch is closed all the way.

 

[ToddW850]

LOL @subysti . We hit it at the same time.

 

[Robert_o]

Ok lanyard in place, clean out tight !

 

[2nazt]

Do engines crank over or not at all?

 

[subysti]

You were running at speed and it died? Again check the clean out switches. Push them manually and crank the engine, make sure they didn't move, check for rope or something else wrapped around the jet shaft.

 

[Julian]

Hard to tell with only 2 sentences of symptom description!

1) Does it crank?
2) If it does crank, does it try to start at all?
3) If it doesn't crank, do you have dual batteries?
4) Is it possible the battery is dead? Did you sit playing music for a long time?
5) Is the shaft clear of debris/ropes etc?
6) Is there gas in the tank?
7) Can you describe what you were doing with the boat today leading up to the no start problem?

 

[Robert_o]

I was on plane, yes I've been playing music for about 5 hours . It does crank but it won't start! It is full of gas.

 

[ToddW850]

Like said above, lift the clean out hatch and manually hold down the kill switch while you or someone else turns the key.

If that doesn't work, then I'd probably start checking fuses.

Were you on smooth water when the engine died? Or hitting wake or waves?

Where are you? I just pulled into Laughlin nv. Are you on lake Mohave?

 

[Robert_o]

I did the kill switch , what fuses?and where are they? I was hitting wakes ,

I am at lake pleasant , wish I was at Mohave !

 

[itsdgm]

Hitting wakes sometimes upsets the cleanout hatch which triggers the cleanout switches. But usually the engine wouldn't crank if it was those. But like @ToddW850 was referring to, have somebody hold down those switches by hand and try to start again.

 

[itsdgm]

My engine fuse block is located under a round, screw on cap on the front of the engine compartment. One column of fuses are active, the others are spares. There also should be a removal tool under the cap.

 

[itsdgm]

Also, not sure if you've "exercised" the lanyard kill switch. Try removing & replacing the lanyard a few times.

 

[itsdgm]

Other things to check:

Fuses - in engine compartment

Look behind the ignition switch and try to unplug and reconnect it.

Possibly the cleanout hatch switch wiring or lanyard switch wiring became unplugged. See if you can gain access to the wiring. Cleanout hatch switch wiring is under the swim deck. My boat has an inspection hatch in the cleanout area. Not sure about yours. Lanyard switch wiring is under the throttles. I can gain access from under the fron bench seat or through a cup holder.

Hope you figure it out soon. Keep us posted on what you find.

@Robert_o I just sent you a PM with my phone # if you're still in need of help.

Easy way to get to the back of the Helm panel is to reach into the bow storage and up, undo (2) wing nuts. One on each bottom side of the backrest pad. The backrest will slide UP and off giving you a large access area to the back of the helm.

The Fuses are mounted on the back wall behind the engine. They're on the left side under a round cap.

Can you scroll through your M&T buttons and see what your voltage is?
