I got the boat ready Saturday to start her up for the first time. Been
charging the battery during the winter months. Hooked it up. Raised the
lower unit so I can move her to the driveway. Lowered it back down.
Checked all the fluids. Everything looked good. Put the muffs on and
turned on the water. Turned the Key and nothing. Nothing at all worked.
Radio doesn't come on and the horn doesn't even work. Battery is fully
charged, fuses are fine, kill switch is not engaged.
I had a friend of mine who was working on it so I am not sure which
cables he jumped on the starter/solenoid. When I turn the key there is
no power anywhere in the boat and it doesn't click the starter either.
He did a jump at the starter and got it to turn the motor a little.
Then he jumped another wire and there was power back in the entire
boat. Where is my problem?
