Hey guys, new to the outboard forum and nee to this boat . I'm having trouble getting it started at the dock or after sitting for a day or two . Once it starts it runs good and idles fine but it takes several minutes of cranking to get her to fire. I nearly drain the battery to get it to start . Before I spend the ungodly amount on a mechanic doing investigative repair work , I thought I would hit you guys up and see your thoughts . I am new to outboards, but very mechanically enclined....thanks in advance...Dimitri
 
Thank you for your response Jerry , I read through the owners manuals and that was the problem. I didn't know how to use the choke. She fired right up once I used the correct starting procedure. All is well and again thank you .
