@23LSVOwner wow! By far the best set of Malibu wiring diagrams I've ever seen. Do you have them for other years too?

Depends. I have to check my source.

I”m not saying you’re wrong, but my family’s first boat was a mid-80s Nautique and we’ve had inboards, sometimes multiple, for almost 40 years (damn that makes me feel old).  The  feeling that the market must be saturated has been around for decades.  This is a significant blip, but it due time, we will all once again be scratching our heads as to who is buying these boats 

Not so much "the market" as the players who keep things moving even if when don't have to.   With money not being free, they don't have to.  Wake boats are going to appeal to a much smaller percentage of boaters than pontoons, runabouts, cabin cruisers, etc....hence like The Hulk keeps saying, they are hurting the most.   But it'll come back in time, it always does.

That, and add to it comments echoed here.   The new models roll out, the features aren't leaps and bounds improving over previous models anymore, but the prices keep going up and up and up.   Some form of market saturation has to apply here.   If you're not loaded and trading in a boat every year just to have the newest model, why keep upgrading?

Feels like a regulator by your description. Once you get the boat running the pump stays on and masks the regulator issue. 

Could also be the bendix gear on the starter.
