Derek,

Sounds like you have an intermittent wiring problem. Grab your voltmeter and 
check each connection. 

Could also be your starter solenoid. 

Good luck. 


All the best,

Edd

I’m having ignition problems with the 2QM15 engine in my C&C 30 mk1. Normally, 
when the main switch is turned to on, the oil pressure alarm sounds. Pressing 
the starter button starts the engine and the alarm stops.



This season, after a few successful starts, when I turned the main switch on 
one day there was no alarm and nothing happened when I pressed the starter. No 
cranking. Not a sound. My batteries spent the winter in my basement and were 
fully charged. As well, shore power was plugged in and the charger showed full 
charge on both batteries.



This happened once or twice last season but when I repeated the process the 
engine started.



I assumed that the main switch was worn out and ordered a replacement Yanmar 
switch from Rosborough Boats. It was my first dealing with them and I was very 
impressed. Rob Manual had a new switch to me within a day.



I had carefully labelled and photographed the connections at the old switch 
before removing it, but when I installed the new one it didn’t solve my 
problem. When I keyed the switch on, I got a very weak sounding alarm and 
pressing the starter button got no reaction.



I’m unskilled at tracing problems, so thought I’d ask for help. Thanks in 
advance
