A buddy of mine has a Crownline 20 foot bowrider, with quicksilver
commander 3000 controls, a 350 MPI engine... at times, the engine
won't fire or crank no click or nothing, however all electronics on
board work properly. I.E. Bildge, blower, hatch, trim lights stereo
so on so fourth, and when you take the power control lever, and run
it full forward and full reverse then return it to neutral while the
key is off, the engine will fire up right away.... I'm tempted to
tell him to check the wires to the ignition switch from the neutral
lock out switch, or the switch itself.. anyone have similar
troubles?... how did it get resolved?..

Hmm, I don't kwow how that happened. I hit reply and it made a blank
post!

Anyhow, I thinkt he problem is in the momentary kill switch.
Mercruiser has a "kill" switch built into the mechanism, that will all
the engin to be momtarily shut off while shifting to forward or
reverse, to allow the gears to mech properly without any engine load.
I feel it's not defective, but needs adjustment, but if it's
defective, it's holding "open" untill the shift mechanism jars it
loose.

just an opinion.
