Good engine with electronic problems once and awhile that prevents starting sometimes
What would be the first area to look / replace ?

What does it do or not do when you try to start it?

Does it turn over?

What year is the motor?

I know I've had issues in the past with my Mercs when the ignition powerpacks were going bad.

Chris. The motor is a 2000 with 550 hours
I don't know if it's the EFI version or the Optimax.

But I would have a look at the ignition powerpacks and see if that's the issue.

I've seen some of the symptoms you have had with one of both powerpacks on their way out.

Let us know if you figure it out!
