I've just redone the entire interior of this boat. Everything looks great now. The battery is new and working great. New trailer lights and all! Here is the problem: I'm trying to start the thing...and well it will act like it's going to start in the start position. (It has 3, don't know the first one, second is start and 3rd is accelerate.) As soon as I move it to the 3rd position it stops. Dead, nothing! I just don't understand it, because it wants to start but just can't quite get there. Also when you move the fuel thingy on the engine it doesn't fill up with gas like it used to, instead, NOTHING. Anyone have any idea why it won't start?

I hope you have water circulating via drive muffs before you start it. Please be more specific.

The engine thingy I was referring to was the carburetor. I didn't know for sure what the were called at the time. It is working now though. Okay it got started, just filled up a 55 gallon drum full of water, that is what our neighbor says he does. It did finally start up and I took the battery back to autozone to be tested and 2 days later they say it's at 13% so it's bad. (2 days earlier they told me it was fine).   I put some fuel additive in it and ran the heck out of it and it seems better now. Today we plan to take it and hopefullly see what else is wrong with it. Thanks! Back to Top
