Ok heres the thing. I have full battery power but when I hit the switch
to start it nothing happens, no sound, anything. However I can by pass
the solenoid and get the ignition to turn over. I have checked all the
possible power reasons and I can only conclude that its something with
the solenoid, near by, or the switch. Is there anything else I need to
check or something that might be loose or broken?

Check the 15 amp fuse in the rear box in addition to the fuses on the
main computer upfront. With the lanyard off, hit the start button 5
times, does the display activate?

I have checked the one in the rear of the boat. Where exactly would the
computer ones be up front?

The main computer is mounted upfront. Open the hood, pull out the tub,
and you will see this black 1" thick square box with 3 connectors.
There is a small cover over the fuses.

A very common problem with these is the ground wire inside the
solenoid box gets corroded and ceases to function.

The computer is in the front compartment of the ski, it is behind the
shock for the forward compartment hatch and is a rectangular black
box.

Here is what the factory service manual says... If you don't have one
and want one I can get you one on CD for $10 including shipping.



Engine does not turn over:
POSSIBLE CAUSE: REMEDY:
Safety lanyard cap worn or removed • Replace/reinstall

Thanks For all of your help. I got it to crank two nights ago. It
turned out to be the electronic box up front. A 5 amp fuse had blown
and as soon as I replaced it the ski started. Once again thanks for
your help on this.
