    200 EFI won't start

    serial:0T543072
    Model: 1200424Zy
    Out on the lake today, motor has been running great. Stopped to fish awhile. Started her up and it kept dieing when I put it in gear, almost like something was wrapped around prop. I checked and prop was clear. Tried couple more times, it would start right up and stall upon shifting. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't start. It would just wind and wind without even making an attempt to fire.. as if the kill switch was pulled. (I checked that as well) No alarms, just wont fire. I waited 30 mins same issue. Called for a tow. Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Monitor that carefully. Fuses usually blow for a good reason (to protect sensitive electrical components from an over-current condition).

    If this occurs again, be sure to notate which fuse is blowing (specifically).
