Hi,

I have a C27 with an A4, and I've heard of another way to start an A4, but have never tried it. When I put
it back in the water this spring I will try it.

1. Get your sailboat (under sail) up to speed, say 5-6 knots.
2. Set gas throttle
3. Turn on the key.
4. Put engine in gear.

Speed though water causes the prop to turn, which will turn over the engine and start.
Sound like it will work and might be a good alternative if your batteries die, and you're under sail.

Give it a try and let me know.

Bob
