Hoping someone has some insight. New problem. Yesterday I took the tug out on the Hood Canal. When I went to start in in the marina, it had a delayed start. Pushed the on off button to turn it on, then pushed the start button (after making sure I was set to neutral). Engine didn't turn over right away but turned over and started after a couple of seconds without my finger on the start button. Then after we got out on the water and shut down for awhile we were going to head back in and it did the same thing again....delayed starting. when we got into the dock, it didn't want to shut down the first couple of times I hit the stop button. I was starting to think I was going to have to use fuel cutoff, when it finally shut down. Then it got even weirder. I was on the dock helping my bride finish tying up the boat when it started by itself and then shut off. It did that twice. So then I check it out further before we depart. I start it and it has the delayed start issue and then when I hit the off button, it shuts down while I'm pushing the button but then starts running again when I let up on the button. It did that a few times before it finally shut down. Not sure where to start trouble shooting but I have noticed that some folks have installed a remote starter switch which I think I will do as I don't have the red key start in the engine compartment. Any ideas would be most welcome.
