    Meh I can't blame the guy, I had a boat once that was a bitch to get started after it sat for a week or more but once you got it going it would fire right up all day.

    It's a valid request, but it's your boat. Maybe you'd rather keep it. I say that because your trying to squeeze on last trip in before showing the boat.

    Good luck

    my efi starts right up every time,when i sell a boat, you can look at it all you want and then if you want it we go to the lake and run it then i will do a compression test while you stand there,if thats not a enough then have a nice day (before we go to lake test we have a agreement on the price and you need the funds)

    My friend's 175 XRi starts perfect when cold but you have to add just a wee bit of warm-up lever for it to start after it's warm. That's the only issue he hasn't been able to figure out and he's done his research and is a pretty good mechanic. I'd trust him to work on my motor.

    Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.

    I had a lot of friends that had them. Perhaps I should qualify the statement with "notoriously hard to start unless you knew the secret handshake".

    But I will add that nothing sounded better than an EFI idling.
