    I know very little about LPG boats. Details on the fuel system, you are on your own.
    This is what a lot of mechanics refer to as a "cranks, no start" condition.
    If the cranking is smooth, normally fast, and even, you can assume the compression is OK.
    That leaves Ignition, and fuel as the two remaining possibilitys.
    A quick and dirty check, crank it, and then go and smell the exhaust. If you smell unburnt fuel, the ignition is what I would look at first.
    This is how I test the ignition on a GT-40:

    I believe the ZR-6 uses coil packs. Use the spark tester on the plug wires, one at a time. If you get a strong steady spark, I would then check the fuel supply system. Make sure you always leave the spark plug wires connected to the tester, or a spark plug. I also think the ZR-6 also uses only four coil packs, and the plugs fire on both the compression, and on the exhaust stroke.

      Check your main harness plug on the engine to see if it has a hose clamp holding it on. It should be 35 to 40 mm in diameter and at the front of the engine compartment, near the red engine cover and just above the transmission.

          Do you need a LNG specific ECU?

              Regading the 211 that won't start. For what it is worth. I have a 210 with the gt 40 engine and it seems that every year after sitting, the first time I use it ,it may run fine. But the second or third time, it turns over and starts but quickly stalls. I found that by loosening the bolt at the bottom of the water separator canister and draining a good bit of water and gas(so use some sort of absorbent mat) it will then start right away and be fine.
              This year I put a cup of denatured alcohol in the gas tank before using and had no problem.The only other time I had a similar propblem I had to replace the neutral safety switch.
