We actually had two problems at the same time. We were only a couple hundred feet outside the marina when the port motor stopped. We didn't know it at the time, but the fuel line was being pinched. When I tried to start the starboard motor I had the same symptoms you described. After waiting an hour for Vessel Assist and then being towed back to our slip, both motors started right up. The mechanic found the crimped fuel line but by then, the swing arm had gone back into place against the switch.
