I have an M4-30.hold the glow plug 30-60 seconds then press the starter
button while still holding the glow plug button depressed.I think that's
what the manual says to do and that is what I do to start.in warmer weather
I don't hold the glow plug quite as long but I don't think my M4-30 will
start at all unless both buttons are depressed at the same time.maybe my
panel is wired up differently than yours

I have only had a few tries at starting the M430 engine on my new boat, and
I have been told several different stories.  One person said to hold the
glow plug button for 5-10 seconds and then start.  Another said 30 seconds
on the glow plug and then leave the button pushed while also pushing the
starter.  The latter worked when I was first starting the engine after the
winter while plugged into shore power.  Yesterday I started it for the first
time without shore power and found that the starter did not kick at all if I
started while also holding the glow plug button.  Started find when I let go
the glow plug button.  What is the "normal" starting procedure with a cold
engine in cool weather.  Warm weather?  Warm engine?  Thanks- Dave
