I was anchored at the beach for about three hours today, changing the prop, cleaning the bottom, relaxing, etc. When it was time to go, the engine would not start. I tried and tried, to no avail. This had never happened to me before. Could a prop change cause this somehow? Did I possibly block the exhaust? How about sand ingestion from shallow water? Nothing made sense. I was about to give in and call a tow. Then it hit me... I had engaged the engine kill switch before changing the prop. Doh!
