Re: Stus-List 2GM20F Engine will not start - Possible Fuse Issue.
When I got my “new” boat last spring, I had intermittent starting problems. The yard mechanic told me that in his experience these were caused by bad grounds most of the time. Sure enough, when I cleaned the ground connections to the engine, the problem went away.

Re: Stus-List 2GM20F Engine will not start - Possible Fuse Issue.
It is a good idea to have a start switch mounted near the engine for starting during service. It can be wired directly from the plus to the solenoid. Then in an urgent situation you can run down and start if the normal start doesn't work.

Stus-List 2GM20F Engine will not start - Possible Fuse Issue.
I had a recent issue just prior to and into the first week of a recent month-long sailing trip where I had intermittent starting problems with my 3HMF30. It turned out to be the solenoid for the starter. The old solenoids are sealed units--so there really is no way to "repair" them. I then found out that I couldn't just buy the replacement solenoid because they are no longer made (nor the exact starter for that matter). Of course, most new starters are reduction gear type which use less electrical current for starting. I ended up going with a Hitachi starter and solenoid to replace the original Yanmar starter and solenoid and I am very happy with the change and NO more intermittent starting problems!

Re: Stus-List 2GM20F Engine will not start - Possible Fuse Issue.
I just worked on a Yanmar (model unknown) starter. There was a relay or something on the side of the block under the starter. The wire (white) from the start side of the key switch went to the relay. Another wire (orange) went from the relay to the solenoid. Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List 2GM20F Engine will not start - Possible Fuse Issue.
The fuse to which we are all refering is upstream of the key switch. If you hear a buzzer/low oil pressure alarm then the fuse is fine. I would check voltage going to the panel and voltage back to the start solenoid. As Dwight suggested the button could be bad so a resistance check across the button terminals with the key off and the button depressed will determine that. After verifying the voltage and eliminating the button I would look to the solenoid. You may have 2, check them both. It could be burnt out or just stuck...low voltage or high resistance to the solenoid could cause the solenoid to appear bad. I would take a short piece of wire and jumper from the positive supply terminal to the start terminal on each of the two solenoids. That should eliminate the solenoids...

Check the starter button. Also inline fuses. bad contacts,not just blow fuses can cause this.

Re: Stus-List 2GM20F Engine will not start - Possible Fuse Issue.
I switch the key on, the alarm buzzer buzzes as normal, I depress the start button, and the only thing I see or hear, is the lights light up on the control panel. No clicking sounds, no starter sounds, nothing. I will check out and go through the start circuit wiring.

Re: Stus-List 2GM20F Engine will not start - Possible Fuse Issue.
Do you have a separate starting relay? I think it was on this list that someone was saying that the wires, push button and key switch are not robust enough for the starter. A secondary relay solves this and prevents drawing too much current. You'll probably never have to even look at the fuse again.

Re: Stus-List 2GM20F Engine will not start - Possible Fuse Issue.
Everyone: Thanks for the input. I replaced the 30 amp fuse like i was instructed and it started up right away. Brad brings up a good point. Could it be heat related. I guess I should have tried starting it before replacing the fuse, but i immediately changed the fuse and it worked. I looked at the fuse and it still looked good. However, it was an OLD fuse. Only time will tell if it is heat related. Ray On Thu, Aug 14, 2014 at 11:56 PM, Brad Crawford wrote: > I had a similar issue this last weekend.

Re: Stus-List 2GM20F Engine will not start - Possible Fuse Issue.
I started having problems with my 2GM20F a couple of seasons ago. Turning the key would often produce nothing, then suddenly after 4 or 5 tries it would crank OK. Replaced all the battery/starter/1,2,all switch cables - 3 or 4 premade cables from my local auto dealer - Canadian Tire. Cables are sold in different lengths with ends already sweated on. Cost about $70. 30+ years service - you can’t ask for much more, especially in this application. These will outlast me! Cranks every time now. sam :-) C&C 26 Liquorice Ghost Lake Alberta From: Nauset Beach via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2014 10:56 PM To: 'Martin DeYoung', Nauset Beach via CnC-List, 'Raymond Macklin' I had a similar issue this last weekend.

Re: Stus-List 2GM20F Engine will not start - Possible Fuse Issue.
I have had similar starting problems. The biggest difference from what others are describing is the operation of the key. On mine during a normal start sequence, I turn the key to on, low oil pressure alarm sounds, I press the start push button, engine starts, alarm stops. When the start sequence is going to fail, after turning the key to start no alarm sounds. I go down and jiggle the wiring harness until the alarm sounds. Then I go up and push the start push button and the engine starts. I believe this loose connection causes the equivalent of turning the key off. It can happen anytime regardless of the engine running or not. The problem being that turning the key off can blow the regulator or diodes in the alternator. Just 2 days ago I was investigating a low output voltage on the alternator and discovered a fuse in a wire bundle between the starter and the air filter housing. The fuse holder was green plastic and a clam shell design. Convieniently it holds a spare fuse. Inconveniently it was buried away in the engine. It was made to be held together with zip-ties but was only being held by electrical tape. Fuel and oil had weakend the adhesive on the tape and the clam shell had opened slightly. When I jiggled the wiring harness it would wiggle the fuse contacts inside the clam shell. Two zip-ties later and I doubt I will have any more problems.

Re: Stus-List 2GM20F Engine will not start - Possible Fuse Issue.
Yes, in the wiring loom facing the front of the engine the harness will have an inline fuse. it runs from the Starter to the start switch. I will send you a link to the diagram. It's a 30 amp fuse. Sometimes it needs a good cleaning sometime a new fuse. I keep 3 or 4 extra on the boat as spares. http://s148.photobucket.com/user/LTGoshen/media/YanmarGMwiring_zpsab1e027b.jpg.html On Thu, Aug 14, 2014 at 8:07 AM, Raymond Macklin via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hello: > > I have a 1985 C&C 33-2 with a Yanmar, Diesel 2GM20F engine.
