I had a similar issue this last weekend. We motored from Elliott Bay to Port Ludlow, set the hook, shut the engine off, about a half hour later I decided to relocate the anchor. I depressed the starter switch and nothing happened, tried a couple of times, no start. So we stayed put figuring I’d tackle the problem in the morning. The next morning she started right up. On the way back a few days later, we motored from Kingston back to Elliott Bay Marina, we stopped at the fuel dock to empty the waste tank, when finish I again depressed the start button to move on to our slip. Same thing, no start, I checked around looking for something obvious that may have caused the problem, found nothing, so we waited about 45 – 60 minutes. After a cool down time I tried again depressing the start switch and she started right up. I think my issue may be heat related but not sure? Could it be the switch, fuse or fuse holder, solenoid, or starter? Any ideas? Has anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar issue with a 1980 C&C 36’s 3 cyl. Yanmar after a night passage. The electrical load from the running lights and other nav equipment caused a fuse located at the back of the engine to blow. The fuse was in an in-line holder as part of the wire harness. This was approx. 20 years ago so I don’t recall which circuit it was part of but it may have been the 12V supply for both the lights and the electric fuel lift pump.

Hello: I have a 1985 C&C 33-2 with a Yanmar, Diesel 2GM20F engine. I was sailing last night and started the motor like normal to get out of harbor. However, when I went to come back in to the harbor. I proceed to follow my normal process. I put the transmission in Neutral and reached down to turn the key and heard the whistle sound and press the start button. NOTHING HAPPENED. Kept trying on different batteries and still nothing. I also looked at the gauges with the motor would not start and my gas gauge read empty and i know i have a full tank. We got back into the harbor and someone showed my how to jump the motor. I started right up. He indicated it might be a fuse. Is anyone familiar with the location of the fuse between the key and the motor and the type of fuse i may be needing to repair this. Thanks, Ray LakeHouse Libertyville, IL Diesel - Yanmar 2GM20F, fresh water cooled
