    Could I have a problem with the oil pressure switch. It reads normal oil pressure while running and I put about 15hrs on the boat over the long weekend and it ran fine.
    This was a problem I was having, I replaced the fuel filter and have not had the issue since. You could have a bad ignition switch.

    Ok I've already replaced the filter but will check into the ignition switch.

    Rakkasan,
    In my opinion, your issue does not sound like oil pressure switch, if you have ran it 15 or so hours. Generally, with a faulty oil pressure switch, the engine will start but not run very long because the oil pressure switch did not sense pressure and the engine will shut down as a safety feature.

    Ok that makes sense I just can't figure out why its so hard to start but run like a champ. I'd take it to the dealer but it's a long drive and my days off are not very conducive to their work load.
