Similar Ignition Problem (Help)
Hello - I have a 2003 Outback that has a similar problem when starting.
Turn key - all gauges and stereo (if on) work but no power to starter for ignition.
I have tried to "jiggle" the throttle thinking it was the nuetral safety switch and also removed and reinstalled the main plug going into the emission control module on the back side of the starboard valvle pan cover.
I have been able to get the boat started each of the three times this has happened but not sure which action I took has actually fixed the issue and allowed it too start.
New battery in fall of 2011 - good amps
Also replaced positive battery cable this season thinking that was the issue after reading this post.
Any ideas?
Did you fix your ignition problem?
Thanks,
Mike
