Hello, new to the forum here and I have two issues I'm troubleshooting.
First, recently, when starting the engine from a cold start, the start up is churning slugishly like I have underpowered or bad batteries to start. However, the batteries are fully charged and maintaining 12.5-6 voltage during the start. I do this until either batteries can't maintain enough juice and I have to recharge them for a while. After about 3-4 tries, so far, I've been able get it started but am worried that I'll be out on the water and won't be able to recharge my batteries as I'm not plugged into shorepower.
Any thoughts for why startup would seem like a bad or underpowered battery but the batteries are fine? Fly wheel? Starter? Solenoid?
Also, after its been warmed up and going for a while, when I shut it down it starts right back up no problem.
Any thoughts on how and what to troubleshoot?
Second issue is that when started, and I put it into forward gear, after a few seconds it stalls. Restarts no problem and I've been just feathering the gear forward to until it warms up a bit more and then it no longer stalls out. Not sure these two issues are related yet.
