Serial number: 2B563969, with 36 hours. (Never had this happened prior to this outing) Boat is in the water, with OB down, I turn the key, hear the beep, turn over the OB, the motor "growls" to life and right before the purr, the OB shuts off. I re-started the OB right after again and I had zero issues the entire outing, like if nothing ever happened. Fast forward to yesterday, (I haven't used the boat for 2 weeks mind you), boats on the trailer this time at home, with the muffs on, and water running. Turn the key, hear the beep, started the motor, it "growled" to life, and right before the purr the outboard shut off. Waited a few seconds re-started the motor, and no issues. I ran the OB with muffs for 3 mins and motor purred without a problem. I then turned the motor off, waited a few seconds, restarted the OB again, 0 problems.
Is this common when the OB has been resting on the transom saver for a week or 2 without use? Or is this the beginning of an underlying issue?
Appreciate the help.
