Default electrical problems with 1988 175 HP omc

hi to all:

I have a 1988 welcraft with a 175 HP OMC V-6. used 10 times this year with no
problem. while at the lake monday, engine would not turn over, only a click,
and then nothing.

had to be towed in. power trim not working either. depth finder, stereo and
bilge pump work, but blower doesn't

had battery checked, just a quick check, and it checked out ok. put a new
negative copper eyelet on neg side and cleaned terminals..no change. tried
jump starting it, no sound from starter and only clicking from power trim.

when i tried it today, i got a few clicks out of the starter and a few clicks
from trim, then nothing from starter. put in a good car battery attached to
jumper cables, which were attached directly to boat battery cables. no
difference.

any ideas?

thanks

bob
