1994 sea ray bowrider 3.0 L MerCruiser. My boat will not start when I put the key in the ignition and turn the key I get nothing no click no sound no nothing I can cross out the posts on the solenoid in the boat will start right up. I have checked voltage everywhere the batteries fine solenoid starter solenoid's fine the only thing I can think of is it may be a bad ignition switch how can I positively tell if it's the ignition switch that's gone bad. When I initially turn the key on to the accessory position it shows 13 V and everything works when I turn to the start position the voltage drops to zero and it will not do anything. I have checked all the fuses all are in good working order and when the boat is running after I've crossed the solenoid everything works as it should
