Location: Manitowish Waters WI | I have an 01 60hp merc 4 stroke on my esox mag that has been acting funny. Motor has always started on the first turn but as of late every other time I attempt to start it absolutely nothing happens on key turn. Wait 10-15 minutes and power comes back and it fires. When this happens my gauges pause and I loose voltage readings on my tuffy gauge. All other electronics on the 12 v system go unaffected. Graphs, bilge, lw pumps, lights etc still have full power. My helix 9 still shows over 11.5 volts when this happens. Bought a new battery and same thing. Any ideas what could cause this? Boat wiring is upgraded to a blue seas fuse panel and a master shut off like newer mags. I hear rumors that it could be a coil in the engine that can make power to the starter intermittent. |
