I have a Ski Nautique 200 2018. The last of the original 200s. It has the link system (not the panorama display). I am able to boot the system up with no problem and it starts with no problem. Runs great. The issue I had yesterday is when we shut off the engine (between sets for example) it will not restart. Press the start button but nothing, no signal to the engine or anything. I shut it all the way down and reboot the system and it starts right up no problem. Has anyone have any experience with this happening?

I hate being a one trick pony but have you replaced the throttle control based yet? The rebooting part would make it sound like a different problem but without that symptom it sounds just like to all too common throttle base issue. -
I have not. The throttle control base would cause that issue?Comment

jpwhit would probably be a better source for a more definitive answer but the base is a known issue that can cause starting and throttle function issues like putting the boat in neutral lock. While my boat didn't have the no start issue my neutral lock was not functioning. Pushing the button next to the throttle should light up the button and then allow you to rev the engine while keeping the boat in neutral. This feature only worked for about the first month I owned the boat. Many others have reported intermittent and no start issues related to the throttle base. I believe JP was repairing these at one time and Livorsi offers a rebuild service which should tell you something. I along with several others have done write ups on this forum. Mine may be a bit more helpful for you as mine was on my 2016 200v Sport Nautique but mine had the standard gauges. The replacement should be the same as there are no differences between the connections at the base plate. The hardest part for me at the time was clearancing the gunnel as the new base plate was mounted differently than the old version. Had I been in my shop at home and had access to all my power tools the job would have gone even easier than what I experienced without them.
Unless you want to wait 2 - 4 weeks for the rebuild you may want to buy a new one and have the old one rebuilt for a spare or to sell to offset the cost of the new part.

bturner Thank you for your help. I have ordered the throttle base (last one in stock with NautiqueParts). One more quick question. Did you use a multitool to cut the new templet in the fiberglass?Comment

;Yours is a newer boat so you may not even need to do anything. That said, they did provide a template which I of course left at home. If you have a Dremel or a rotary tool that you can put a grinding bit on you should be good to go. You could also use a saber saw but IMO that would be overkill and just make it more likely to take too much material away. I did mine using a set of files that were at the cottage and that worked fine, just took longer and more effort which is just what you want when it's 95 with 95% humidity and working in direct sunlight. The hardest part is getting the panels off. Find my thread and you see exactly what you'll need to do to get to the panel. Once you're done you'll be surprised how easy it actually was to do. I way over thought worried about it way too much.Comment
