I have installed new batteries, have checked all wiring connections. I never have problem on initial starting of my 28.5 Yanmar 2GM diesel engine. I push the black rubber covered start button and she fires up first time every time. However, after shuting down the motor and sailing for a time at least 30 minutes or more, several times when I went to start the motor back up while out sailing, either to pass through a bridge or motor back to my harbour the start button doesn't work the first time I push it. I have had to push the button several times, 3 or 4 minumum to get the motor to restart. This is scary since there may be times in an emergency I need that motor to start on the first push of the button. The first few times it did it I was afraid it wouldn't start. That could be a serious problem since I sail in a ICW with strong currents and I'm sure I would be in trouble trying to sail back to my slip in the harbour. I checked the batterys they were full. The perko was always set on all. Anyone else out there with the same problem. How did you fix it.Also, I have had the Alternator checked by local yanmar specialist who says it its charging perfect. However occasionly on restart my charge light lights up for no apparent reason. It will stay on sometimes for 15 minutes on so. Any knowledge about that nature of this Hunter would be appreciated.Have a great Sailing Day!Robin McClellan...RMcClel123@aol.com
