Help! Internittent starting problems 2015 G23

[euro2012]

That sounds an awful lot lke mine. Have they checked the stereo wiring? Unhook the wire labelled wired remote by the trash can and see if it works.

It was the electronic motor control module. PCM sent the new part overnight. Will pick it up tomorrow and see how it runs. Going to see if they will pick up some of the vacation expenses.

Yikes. Sounds a bit more complicated than mine! Hopefully you are back on the water soon. Good luck man!

PCM sent the control module and dealer fixed me all up. Was back on the water last night. Was a great evening.

Sweet! Glad to hear you are up and running again.

My 2013 G23 has had a starting issue since purchased in late 2013. It has been looked at multiple times and we have since replaced the entire dashboard computer, kill switch, throttle cable, battery switch and still having this issue today. Yesterday, I was towed in once again due to engine not starting. I've now recorded videos of exactly what is happening( Since Nautique seems to think there is some 'user error' when trying to start our boats). This is bogus! Nautique has a serious issue here and my family has been stranded far too many times on the water with our $100k + boat.

Back at the dock and after searching the forums, I was able to remove all the ignition and starter fuses. Nothing was blown but when removed and put back in place, the boat started right up. Pictures attached for those of you having this issue. On my PCM 450 you must take off the plastic heat shield on top of engine and the box is located on the rear starboard side.

I wish Nautique would take this issue more seriously because I know this problem will hit me again like it has for the past three years. Out of all the things that could go wrong on the boat, no one needs to continually be stuck on the water because the boat Won't START! I will have a very tough time buying another G23 from them.

Have you called Ron Nace at Nautique and talked through your issues with him?

My 2017 G23 is doing the exact same thing. I have had to be towed 3 times already this summer. They have replaced everything, from fuel pump relays to now replacing the entire wiring harness.
Boat ran great this weekend no problems, then but hear this *&hjdx the freaking prop shaft sheared off at 30 mph cruising. Look it up they Arte having some serious issues.

Update...dealer was able to replicate the issue at lake and replaced the Neutral safety Switch and Starter relay. He seemed very confident the neutral safety switch was causing the issue. We are also looking into wiring a remote start system as backup if it happens again.
P.S I did not talk to Nautique personally but dealer has been and they have been a help. More to come if this doesn't solve it...
