E225DHLSCM 225 HO 2008
This weekend turned the key a few times to start and got nothing. Fiddled with key in switch a bit and it would start, usually after a couple tries. Should I replace the switch? And if so, what is the part number?
Thanks in advance.
Prodigal son! How ya doing? Switch part number is 5005801 MSRP $79.95 from local dealer of www.marineengine.com.
Doing OK, Fred. Keeping quiet and trying to behave…guiding season is ready to get rolling up here. And the Meister is about a month out from his annual journey to a foreign land…LOL
Thanks for asking and for the info. Hope all is ok with you.
You don't happen to dangle a TON of keys off the boat's key keyring, do you? Chased a bad one once for a friend, the sheer weight of his keys must have worn the switch internals or something to one side ...

Fred is on the money...I had to replace mine for the same reason last year....You still coming to Maine this year?
We will wet a line or two, for sure. Got to figure out the guiding schedule before I do anything. We were cheated last year, gotta go hammer on those bass again!
Always a pleasure to fish with ya bud......Now I have some news for ya.....ready for Okeechobee next april???
I could possibly be persuaded…LolOriginally Posted by Bassmeister
Update: new ignition switch did not solve the issue. So with the cowling off, when the key is turned to start, I can hear a clicking noise from the solenoid when the motor doesn’t turn over. When it does turn over and start I do not hear the clicking. All connections appear tight. Time for a new solenoid?
Hoss or Bighare...can ya help my bud....I'm limited on the ETEC knowledge...
How's battery voltage? Hear the pump run when you turn the key on?
All good, guys. I installed a new solenoid yesterday and I'm good to go! Thank God...LOL. Rough without a.boat, especially when you work as a guide...
Good to hear. Sorry I was not able to come in earlier.
YAY JIM !!! I wasn't for sure the ETEC had a start delay relay like my DFI engine.....Good deduction on your part.
Not a problem. I learn something from every one of your posts. I even read the G2 stuff, even though I don’t own one…Lol
Mike, deduction and desperation aren’t that far apart…YAY JIM !!! I wasn't for sure the ETEC had a start delay relay like my DFI engine.....Good deduction on your part.
