Strange starting problem???

[Thesnowman]

Sometimes when I am out on the lake and have the engine turned off and I go to crank the engine the engine will not turn over. Its almost as if the ignition is not getting any power either from the ignition to the starter or from battery to ignition. I can either turn on and off the master kill switch or just wait a few minutes and it will crank right up like nothing is wrong at all. Its not become a problem because it will always crank right up if I am willing to be patient but I would like to eliminate this problem if at all possible in the future.

Any suggestions on things to check?
And the battery is well charged if thats a suggestion...

I had the exact problem it turned out to be a bad starter had it replaced under warranty never happened again!

Sounds like a neutral safety switch problem, most likely due to a maladjusted transmission cable.

try to shake de thorthle lever (transmission lever) without jump of the neutral position (don't push up de security ring) allways with your finger pressing the start. If the engine cranks intermitent it means that you have a proble with your neutral switch.
I have exactly the same problem in my SANTE 210. What i did? whell, is not the best way to fix it, but i did a by pass in the neutral switch, connecting both terminals toghether. The good new: it starts allways. The bad new: it starts even with forward or reverse engaged. If you do that, be very carefull when starting the engine, You have to be sure that you have the lever in neutral position.
Good luck!
