I saw other threads, discussions about: -- drying or airing out? -- giving time to rest or reset? Is that a real thing to do? any other odd or random things to look into? The most concrete issue I see on the boat (besides that it randomly starts fine) is the 3 push buttons on the Starboard Switch Panel do not have their back-lit lights on. That seems like some issue somewhere? things we checked: - neutral and pumping it, etc. - holding in buttons - checking, wiggling the safety switch

hello, This is a random issue where the boat motor will not turn over/run (start) once you press the Start button. 1) normally, the 3 buttons Start, Eng/Off, Ignition have the button lights turn on... they are not glowing? However, every other battery-operated item on the boat works fine. Lights, radio, etc. etc. I'm talking about the lit button, where Eng Off button has red light and the Start button has the green color light. the LAST the buttons are not lit? 2) In theory, the batteries are good? however, still believe the batteries could be great when they are working... and then bad with the issue occurs? 3) todays issue... in slip, boat started perfect with easy. No issue. Drove around 10 minutes, brought in to get gas... then out of no where... Boat motor not turning... while everything looks perfect, normal? Its like we have checked everything???? 4) apparently, this exact same situation last week? Boat was out and about.... turn it off, watch sunset... but not starting. Have it towed back to slip... THEN it starts fine? QUESTIONS for experienced Centurion boat owners: a) can or do items get loose? fuses, wires, nuts, anything that could cause the above? Do big waves knock items lose? b ) maybe batteries need to be in perfect, great condition. a poor battery is poor... no matter that is sometimes it works fine? c ) items like the Starter Relay switch... does it go out, need to be replaced? Anything that can randomly work but be causing the random, non starting issue? any other thoughts on what else to investigate? thanks!

Hello, Anyone have a link or can share a PDF for 2016 RI217 operating manual? thanks! PS. or is the 2017, 2018, 2019 the same basic boat?
