Intermittent no crankphantom stall 2006 40 hp 4stroke

"I have a 40elptefi on a 17ft.

"I have a 40elptefi on a 17ft. bass tracker. At times when turning the key to on there is no beep,and when this happens, the engine will not crank. The power trim however will still work. Also, I can be under power on the lake and the engine will die. No stumble, no sputter, just like loosing fire. I can then cycle the key to off, then to on, and if the beeper sounds, will crank and run. Being three years old I suspect a corrosion or connection problem someplace. If this were a vehicle in my stall, I would suspect the ignition switch as G.M. has had issued with switches. Just lookin' for some info on where to start checking. Thanks, and happy boating, Jonathan Taylor"

"Thanks JB. I had a sneakin' suspicion the switch was the culprit. I did finally order a Mercury manual for the thing(don't know why I waited so long). Much obliged, Jonathan Taylor."
