When ever you bring your boat to a Mercury Dealer, ask for the “full report” you paid for it, so you might as well have them print it out for you. Latching or sticky codes are when something is still active. If the problem (in both cases here BB and Vrod’s issues) goes away on its own, the active code is cleared, however it is stored along with all the critical operating parameters as well as the last hour it happened and the frequency in which it happened. Posting those in a forum will help a tech who has never seen your motor help troubleshoot it.
