Hi everyone. There was something like this on the board before I think.
I have tilt, beep on key turn. Nothing else. Batteries light lights fine. Ive tried start on dead batteries. Nothing like this I checked the ten amp fuse on the plastic flywheel shroud. Any other fuses?Mean time I shall try rowing the yacht since its flat calm.
first check batteries and connections,your lights can work fine but starter won't crank if your down to like 12.2-3volts, and most important make sure you are using XD-100, i hear it's like a magic potion for ETEC's
Another common problem with E-tec is the throttle cable coming off at the engine and the neutral switch not activated.
Also, BRP does not recommend wing nut battery connections--not sure why but they don't. My engine has started with less than 12v. and with one manual turn of the flywheel.

And I thought it was just me. The shifter/throttle lever may be stiff when new. We've only been out 2x but finding neutral is tough. I find I have to watch that the movable part of the lever slides down to engage neutral. My second attempt at docking I reversed the motor, shifted into what thought I was in neutral, I jumped out with the stern line. The boat started backwards. luckily my wife had secured the bow. I scrambled gracefully back into the cockpit to find neutral.
I hope no one at the ramp noticed....
