Greetings Thrillseekers,
I have a 2003 Honda 200hp on a 21’ Triton and running into a problem and I’m stuck.
After inserting the ignition key and turning on, I get the confirmation beeps.
Turning the key further results in no ignition or any other sound.
Boat fired up fine at the beginning of the day and then would not start later in the day.
I have checked:
Battery (reading 12.69v but did swap it out with another with same no-start result)
Kill switch (it’s in)
Fuse Box and the Main Fuse in the engine area (all look fine)
Fuel
Verified Shifter is in Neutral position
Verified propeller turns freely
Only other guesses are:
New Neutral Switch
New Ignition Switch (They seem to go out about every five years but the last new Ignition Switch gave me “special problems” as it would intermittently engage the Starter Motor when shifting into forward or reverse, while the engine was running! Took three months, probably $2,000, one Shift Cable and three new Starters to figure out that it was the New Ignition Switch)
Really appreciate any positive input.
Thank You.
