2018 Nautique 200 Team with the 6.0l engine, ~380 hours
I’m experiencing the same issue - intermittent no start (crank), neutral button (below throttle lever) non functional.
Have no idea for how long that little button is not working as I never use it anyway.
The no cranking issue started last week when it took a couple attempts to get the boat to finally crank over and start. It started and ran fine like nothing had happened.
Yesterday it was even worse. Took forever to convince the boat to crank in the morning. When switching skiers at the end of the lake, we weren’t able to get it back running and we had to swim the boat in.
Swapped a brand new battery in, nothing changed.
Is there any way to check if the culprit is indeed the throttle box/assembly?
It’s a $700 part and I would hate to buy it only to find out that it doesn’t solve my problem.
*edit*
One more thing that just came to my mind as I was posting this…
One day I pushed the starter button to fire her up and nothing happened - at first - after about 5 seconds or so, while I was still wondering why it hadn’t cranked (and not pushing any buttons nor even touching the throttle lever at that moment) all of a sudden she cranked and the boat started.
