2017 SA Neutral Safety Switch Problem?

[eder10986]

Hey all. So I think I may have a bad neutral safety switch.

The last two outings I’ve had a couple of instances where the boat would not crank. All equipment was working normal but literally no crank from boat, not even a noise.

All fuses and breakers were good. I got it started by removing the starter relay and replacing it, so I have some relays on order now but I fear that’s it the issue.

I’m thinking I may have a bad neutral safety switch.

If so, would this be a good replacement?

Any idea how to narrow it down to this being the culprit? All connections to starter are good without contact to block. Batteries are 12-14v at all times.

If I need to replace it, anyone have any inclination as to how or where? I’m decently handy. Thanks!!!

Jumper the switch and see if it starts.

Do you know where the switch is exactly? Is it inside the throttle components or by the transmission?

It screws into the side of the transmission.
Following the linkage should locate the switch.

All assuming this is the type of switch you actually have.

Awesome. I’ll take a look at it when I get to the boat in the next couple of days.
