OK , dewinterized the boat today (98 vista 258) . Did everything just like I always do . Turned the key over and nothing happens . The batterys were on a maintenance charger all winter but I checked them anyway and they are fine . When I turn the key the gauges work and for a couple of seconds something on the engine runs (fuel pump ?) . There is no clicking or even acting like it is trying to start . Any suggestions ? thanks , keith . |

Recheck your battery negative connections |

OK thanks for all the input , that's why I love this site . I turned the Key and held it while I gently moved the shifter from forward to neutral to reverse and back again . On the third time the engine cranked as it went to the neutral position . It started right up and purred like a kitten . Again THANKS FOR THE HELP !! |

LOL. I remember an owner of a cruiser next to my slip and he couldn't get it to turn over and there must have been half a dozen experts trying to figure it out and he had it in gear and that is why it would not crank. Glad it was an easy fix. |

Love it when it turns out to be something simple. Good for you. |
