Re: mystery motor problem
I'm not an outboard expert, but sounds like an electrical issue. I probably would check the neutral switch first. I understand that those fail sometimes. Best of luck hunting down this gremlin!

Re: mystery motor problem
If you don't already have one, get a repair manual for that motor. It should have an electrical circuit diagram that you can trace out. You may have a bad ground or open circuit. Could be a poor connection in a plug.

Re: mystery motor problem
Was reading another forum this morning about what another fix was-the main engine wire harness connection under the hood-might be corroded and pins not connecting so will start there. :roll:sure hope I don't have that problem on the 2013 Yamaha 9.9 sitting on "Chug-a-Lug"

Boeshield T-9 sprayed on the connector might help keep the moisture and corrosion out now that you have fixed the problem
