Neutral switch????

[need1morefoot]

Hi all! I am new to this site so bear with me please.

I have a 2007 Mercury, 115 hp, 4 stroke on a Lowe deck boat.

My problem is that it runs great for a day or two then will not start.

It will start with the gears disengaged but when I put it into gear it dies.

It will however crank for about 1 or 2 seconds in neutral. Then after a period of time, sometimes an hour, it will start.

Any ideas?? If the Neutral switch is bad would it still be able to crank but not start??

An idea would be to ask on a fishing site.
