I need help. My friends 1988 28HP evinrude will not start. It was used about a week ago, was running fine and then died on the lake. I am getting no power at all to the motor. It will not turn over or show any signs of having power. I know it is not the battery because I charged the one on the boat and also tried using another fully charged battery. Not sure if the problem is the ignition switch, kill switch, or the neutral switch. When I turn the key to the start position, the starting soleniod does not recieve any power to function. It is recieving the 12.8 v supplied by the battery. Also the starter will kick over when using a jumper cable to kick start it. Any help will be appreciated.

Did you get that issue figured out? I'm having the same problem with mine.

There should only be one 20 amp fuse in the main harness, it's ok, correct?
