Thanks for the help. I have some more info.

Last night when I had it out, when I simply turned the ignition key the motor did absolutely nothing. When I turned it and pushed it in, it turned over and started up. This has not been how this worked the past 10 years. The guy who sold me the boat told me the push in primed the motor and I usually only used at the first start of the day or when it was being a pain to start. I have two questions:

1. What is the function of the push in on the keyswitch?
2. Does anyone have any ideas on what is going bad? I am leaning towards the keyswitch from the previous response but just want some feedback.

Thanks,

John
