[USERGROUP=9]@HELP[/USERGROUP] I can't get one engine to fire up! Ideas? One engine even try to fire up! No starter. Checked the fuses all are good!
 
Check clean out hatch switch for that engine.
 
Bob called me and it started while I was on the phone with him. It was the clean out hatch switch.
 
3 min to fix with jetboaters.net!
 
Sounds like his switch went out of adjustment. I had this happen several times because the plastic retaining nuts were split causing the switch to drop down out of adjustment after the hatch lid was closed a few times. Check your nuts.

Once again my friends on the board saved the day! As soon as Jerry gave me that idea and the engine fired up I looked at my wife and said "this is why we stick with a Yamaha for the next boat!". @jcyamaharider thank you very much! That would have been one long trip back in no wake mode!
