Johnson 150GT nothing from ignition and tilt/trim

[chesney1603]

I went outside to start the boat and let it run a little. Turned the key a couple of times motor was trying to start. Went to turn the key again and nothing..dead turn. Thought a fuse blew so I checked the tilt/trim...no movement or clicking from the relays. Took the engine cover off and pulled the main fuse...NOT BLOWN!!! What the hell happened? Everything else powers up (fish finders, radio, live well pumps)

Sounds like bad battery or battery cable connections on both the battery or the mtr. It takes very little amps to run those other accessories.

Bad key switch?

Min of 750 CCA. A 1000 would be better.
