2018 25hp Yamaha Electric Start

[Whiteriver]

I've got a 2018 25hp Yamaha Electric Start that a week or so ago wouldn't start with the electric start..No power to the solenoid at all.  Battery good, connections good, wiggled the gear shift back and forth, checked all the connections I could get too,  all that stuff, but when you pushed the start button--nothing, no power.  I took a screwdriver and jumped across the positive and negative on the solenoid and it cranked right up.  I let it sit a day or two and went back out there and hit the start button and cranked right up and hasn't missed a lick since.  It is under warranty and I could haul it to Bull Shoals Bt. Dock where I bought it, which is what I was going to do before it started working again, but no use now since they'd prolly not find the culprit and I'd be without my motor for a while..  The night before it stopped working I left my boat tied up on the river and it was really foggy with tons of moisture all night..I got in it the next morning and it cranked right up for about an hour and then just suddenly stopped when I was about to take it out of the water and put it on the trailer..  I know this is a lot of info, but I wanted to kind of explain the scenario.  If it does it again I'll let Bull Shoals Bt. Dock mess with it, but in the meantime does anyone have any idea what would make it stop out of the blue and then start working again out of the blue?  I used to have a lawnmower that would foul solenoids and I just quit putting them on and started using a screwdriver to start the mower---I figured it might be the same problem--the solenoid.  I'd take any advice though if someone has some insight...thanks.

Neutral safety switch.

The next time it fails to crank, shift it in and out of gear a few times to reset the switch.....and try it again.

I will do and thank you for your input..I went to the Norfork this afternoon and started it multiple times without a hitch...It was a strange deal though coming out a day or two later and not touched it and it fired right up...that neutral safety switch makes sense as it was probably stuck and came loose...thanks again for your help.
