There is a fuse that sits on the back port quarter of the engine which the
wiring to the panel goes to. Without it nothing works. My fuse Block cracked
and was giving intermittent connection. Drove me nuts until I found the secret
hiding spot for it. Rewired it to a circuit breaker and all has Ben good since.
Good luck.

I had a similar problem 3 seasons ago. It was bad or corroded
connections and wiring. 35 years is pretty good, but everything needs replacing
eventually. I replaced all the major electrical lines around the batteries,
main switch and engine with pre made auto lines from Canadian Tire (maybe
Autozone in the US). Cost was about $65 CDN for my 26 No more problems since.

Just a caution, a check of voltage or resistance is only a part of the puzzle.
If the connection(s) on one or both ends are corroded, it may still pass a
small amount of current to show voltage but may not pass enough current to
support the user, i.e. pump or starter, etc.
Connections must be clean to pass current.

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
