    Not sure what boat you have...if you have 2 batteries, have you tried starting with the other? I had similar issues once...one of my batteries wasn't working properly and showed acceptable volts, but not enough cranking power.

    Have you also checked all cables are tight and fuses are ok?

      Have a 2013 210. Tried it on both batteries. Not sure how to check fuses. I am a newbie owner. Well, it's a learning experience for sure.

        Simple stuff first;

        Pull the lanyard off and re attach
        Put in gear then Bach to neutral
        Check all under dash breakers
        Starter relay under engine cover, pull it and re seat it.

          I just had this happen on my 2013 200V. I had to lock the boat and unlock the boat. While the boat was locked I did the steps described above by txjole.

            Check ignition fuse and ignition relay. Mine did this mid set almost like a kill switch. Come to find out it was just a little fuse that had blown. Exact same symptoms..would turn over all day but not start.

              Thanks all for the responses. I have a ton of learning to do and suspect it will come in time. ****, I don't even know where all these fuses are. I am dropping it off at the dealers tomorrow and it should be fixed soon. Looks like I need to learn some basic knowledge. My previous boat was a Yamaha jet boat and I was all over the maintenance issues with that boat and hope to get that comfortable with this one.

              It's too bad this had to happen on the hottest/calmest day of the year that also happens to be the Canada Day Holiday. I am glad it happened close to home and not on vaca though.

                So got the boat back after a day in the shop. I didn't get all the details as I had to pick the boat up after hours but they said it was something with the relay or ground, I can't remember and didn't care as long as it worked. Went out twice over the weekend without a problem. Dropped in last night and same thing happened. This is extremely frustrating and I am starting to lose faith in this boat. 23 hrs on the boat, had to swap the engine out before I even picked it up, now not starting twice in 10 days. Dealer is awesome but this is unacceptable.

                  Not intended to pi55 you off but maybe lighten you up....

                  I feel like we're married.....and I dare to ask what does "not start" mean?

                  Does it not crank? if so, does it "click"
                  Does it crank and not run?

                    LOL, no pi55ing off here. I am frustrated but totally understand that it is what it is. I'm just hoping it gets resolved soon and the dealer is dedicated at fixing this.

                    Anyway, not starting means the engine won't fire. The engine cranks and turns over but the engine just doesn't run. Everything sounds normal except the cranking goes for a lot longer than when the engine does fire and then stops itself.

                      "No start" is too vague.
                      "No crank" is not.
                      This is a "cranks, no start" condition.

                        I don't know about LINC, but on the newer keypad models. The engine will crank all day and never fire.....when the lanyard is pulled.

                        Now, the gauges don't come on IIRC but the keypad does of course....but LINC might be different.

                        I'd triple check that kill switch. Maybe somebody with LINC can go out tonight and pull their lanyard....and see if it cranks.

                          Yup, I went through the process of checking the lanyard and making sure I was in neutral. I went through what others suggested above.
                          I'll let you know what the dealer says.

                            How did you check it?...by making sure it was attached? (scroll down)















                            .....that's not good enough.

                              LOL, no I took the lanyard off and reattached it but only twice, not three times.

                              Heard from the dealer that the boat started for them but that it was "throwing codes". They are trying to diagnose what's going on.
