2020 GS24 will sometimes not start after running music and floating with engine off

two years later after replacing the throttle assembly and my boat partner said the boat would not start this past weekend. He fiddled around with putting the shifter in and out of gear and he check some connections but he could not get it to start at all whereas before we got it to start eventually every time. Seems like a repeat of past don't know if I should just buy a new throttle assembly and try to get it going by the holiday coming up next week. I'll see what the dealer says. So if I buy a throttle assembly and its not the issue do you guys think I could resell it on here at a $100 discount?

You'll have the shipping and tax on top of the NP price. Assuming the buyer would pick up the shipping minus the $100 bones, I bet you might have a pretty good shot at that. Might not be in a day or a week, but everyone likes a discount.
That's a bummer, bad timing, good luck.

Can't get into the dealer until mid July which is about what I expected. Gonna spend a day troubleshooting before I decide to buy another throttle assembly. My partner said the keypad lights were flashing? sounds like a bad circuit or a short. A two year old part should not crap out that fast. edit partner wanted to buy the part says he checked all the wiring etc and thinks its the throttle assembly so I got one coming by two day shipping total with tax and some xmas tree clips was $602. If it doesnt do the trick I'm either keeping it as a back up or selling off at a discount...stay tuned.

just to follow up on this. I had the new part with me and still tried to get the old one to work but it wouldnt go so I swapped out the throttle assembly and the boat fired right up. It was a quick fix maybe 45 minutes with a screw driver pliers and also needed an allen wrench for the bolt that holds the throttle on. Now I am going to call the company that makes the part and see about a rebuild on the one we pulled off and I will keep it as a spare.

$600 and some change, an hour of swet, 12 hours of diagnostics, and on the water again pre-mid July.
Not bad, good job. Thanks for the follow up. You gotta be happy with that!!
