[QUOTE="cincinnati, post: 310160, member: 5561"] Had a similar problem on my '88 25 HP Merc & it was the switchbox. Sometimes it was fine, sometimes it would start on one cylinder & then begin hitting on the 2nd after the motor got hot. Very random. The last time I suffered w/it, the motor wouldn't start @ all, so we fished around the ramp on the trolling motor. The day got stinking hot &, just for stupidity sake, I cranked the Merc & it started & ran fine. (Remember, when you're testing electrical components, the values change w/temperature!) Finally bit the bullet & bought the switchbox. No trouble since. [/QUOTE]
