hi
last weekend I tried to start the boat, it cranked a couple of times but the third time it didnt,also the power went off, no gauges, not tilt, so I reset it the relays on the engine and turned off and back on the perko switch and the power came back to all the electronics and gauges, then tried to start the engine again and same problem..didnt crank and power went off..I tought the problem was the starter, so I removed the starter, reset the power, crank the ignition switch and this time the power didnt went off and I could hear the click noise from the selenoid, now..I bought a used starter off ebay, installed and I'm having the same problem, and really I dont have any idea of what the problem could be..also don't know howto check the starter, can I just connect it directly to a 12v battery to see if it cranks? thanks.
