2005 SANTE start givin' me nothing? help.

Kinda weird story, big problem.

Boat working fine last 2 times I've had it out, no issues ever with start. Had someone at the end of the day pull the emergency kill switch accidentally, and of course the boat stopped, problem was that once I put the kill switch back on, push button start gave me nothing.

I had full diagnostics all gages and stereo was fine as well as battery volts. Played with the kill switch a bunch, still nothing. So I did shut down using my code, turned it off, re-entered code, everything fired up heard fuel inject., made sure I wiggled it in neutral, no start. Bummer. Turned off batteries, did full code restart stuff, everything looks good... nada.
Pissed, turned everything off, including battery switch, had buddy tow us in. 5 minutes into tow, thought I might try again, turned on battery put in code, perfect start. Problem solved, drove back to the dock thinking everything was great.

Had dinner, went back to dock... same issue.

What did I do? Turned off battery, let it sit, waited 10 min, started fine.

Didn't use it again for the weekend, any ideas?

I had a similar situation with my 05 SANTE. Mine ended up being a loose starter wire. Hope this helps...

Check the connections at the kill switch. It would not hurt to clean the battery posts, and terminals.

Loose ground wire was my problem at the battery well not loose had a join in it that was not a clean contact at the battery

My thoughts are that its not a battery issue/battery connection issue as I have full voltage, stereo, all gages etc.

if it was the kill switch, it would start to turn and stall out everytime. If you hear the fuel pump prime i would look toward starter.
