Hello,
We've had our C34 MKII for 5 years. A few years ago, after sailing the boat for 4 hours, keeping the gearbox in reverse, the engine would not start notwithstanding having moved the gear shifter from reverse to neutral, to forward and back to neutral. It did eventually start, but only after a good 15 minutes going back-and-forth, tacking, etc.. Well it happened again for the second time in 5 years. Same scenario. Is there an electronic switch that controls the position of the gearbox, that I can replace? Thank you for any feedback you may have on this.
