Boat doesnt like to start when hot....
 

Hey guys....not too sure where to go with this one....I have a 95 Mariah Z202 that doesnt like to start back up after sitting hot for awhile. She starts right up cold no problems but if we crusie around for awhile and then stop at the sandbar for 30 minutes or so and then decide to take off she has a tough time starting back up :mad:. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

thanks!

This is a common problem. Replace the coil and the ignition module in the distributor.

Thanks! Knew someone would have the answer! Any advice on where i should get the parts from?

iboats.com works but there are likely hundreds of places where these are available.

Was able to get the new coil put in over the weekend, the actual module is another story! Turns out I was sent the wrong one...guess thats what I get for not opening the box before heading to the boat! Hopefully I can take care of it this weekend. Thanks for the help!

Mine will start right up after sitting at the sandbar, but will stall after a minute and not want to start. Same problem?

Think its a different problem....mine doesnt like to start after sitting but once it starts I am good to go! I changed the ignition coil and that didnt seem to help....need to get an new ignition module I think, but its real expensive so I am trying to find a good deal before I bite that bullet!

Well I updated the module this weekend, started up fine no issues. However after we went to the sandbar and tried to start up after about an hour or so I had to keep the key cranked for a bit before the boat finally caught and started up. That being said it doesnt seem like the new module solved my problem....anyone have any other advice? Vapor lock? Starter going bad? I dont know where to start!
