I had a couple issues over the weekend and I was hoping to get some advice, 2012 Tige Z3:
- First, it seems as though the boat is not able to find neutral or it thinks it is in gear because I have to push the throttle forward and back multiple times to get it to start. It is obviously in neutral when I try to start, but it doesn't do anything. There isn't a crank at all, so I'm assuming the boat thinks it is in gear. It is intermittent because it only does this sometimes and when it happens it sometimes takes 10-20 minutes to get it going. Any thoughts on how to repair?
- Second, when driving the boat very fast at all, the boat seems to list to the right significantly, almost as if there is something dragging on the right side of the boat. If I am steering slight left the boat will level out, but once I hold the wheel so I can go straight it lists right again. Thoughts? I checked the ballast bags on the right and everything appears to be drained so it doesn't seem like a weight issue. I also looked under the boat and the taps plate or convex VX isn't distorted causing a drag.
I appreciate the help!
