Help needed please!
I am having an elctrical problem. Ran the boat the other day, ran fine, tilt trim worked fine, battery was down a bit but all still worked great. Docked the boat went back a day later and it seemed like battery was down as it wouldnt start and tilt, trim wouldnt work. Charged battery up to 100 percent...same problem. Can hear tilt motor barely clicking but engine wont even try to turn over. Reset both circuit breakers in engine compartment but no luck. No obvious wiring problems..all connections tight. There are two blocks with 4 wires going to each of them.. I'm guessing they are the main fuses..just not sure... inside the compartment just above where the fuel line goes in to the compartment held in place with small L clamps. If these are the fuses, Could these be blown? Any guidance would be appreciated. Just got the boat and am not real familiar with a Force motor.
Thanks

Recheck all the battery connections at both ends. Tight is good but they must be clean and tight. Look for signs of corrosion at the base of the lugs. They can corrode inside where you can't see it. You can also try bypassing them using jumper cables.
