I just purchased a "new used" Nautique Excel with 600 hours on it. Got it all setup on the lift in my backyard on Lake Sarah in MN 
When the engine is cold, it typically starts up fine on the first crank. Last weekend we went out and sat in the bay for 30 minutes or so (with the engine off). When I tried to start it up again to go home, nothing happened. The electricity and battery seemed fine - all electrical things seemed to be functioning properly. The engine simply wouldn't start turning over. I tried and tried and tried until finally it cranked over and started it up.
The issue came up again the next day. This time we ran it across the lake and I shut if off and immediately tried to turn it back on - it didn't work. Had to try and try and try and finally it turned on.
I have found that when starting, I typically need to put it in neutral and give it some gas otherwise it shuts down (like gas isn't getting to the engine or something). After it warms up for a few seconds, it idles fine.
Any advice that people can provide would be awesome!!!
