I charged it and started the boat but it went dead again.

Pontoon boat motor not turning over. Storing the outboard in a tilted position can damage the engine. Motor wont turn over after battery change. Motor not being choked to start 7.

Pontoon boats like all. If you have power on the A terminal turn the key to START and see if you have power on the S terminal. I have a 2018 Sweetwater 2086c 70hp.

Carburetor adjustments too lean not allowing enough fuel to start engine 9. Store the outboard in the full down position in order to keep this from happening. Water trapped in the cooling passages or rain water collected in the propeller exhaust outlet in the gearcase can freeze.

Engine not primed -- pump primer system 8. Once everyone is seated you are ready for takeoff. As people look for new ways to entertain themselves while staying socially distanced some have decided to buy a new boatThis is a great idea as boating is a fun activity for the whole family.

If the shifter is not in nuetral or if the switch is bad the engine might not crank. Once you are ready to take off trim the pontoon motor so that the boat is sitting in the water at a shallow level. It can also spin extremely fast but not engage or turn the flywheel of the engine.

Like all other motorized vehicles you can begin to experience engine problems. When you trim an outboard motor up it moves the lower unit bottom of the engine including the propeller away from the boat. Towing a pontoon boat is a different experience from towing other things.
