Boating yesterday and the boat shut off and won't restart the starter is not engaging the engine. It sounds like I need a starter but that doesn't explain why the boat quit running. Any ideas??

the boat is a 2003 Chaparall 243 sunesta if that matters.

Re: 350 mercruiser shut off and won't restart

You should post this in the I/O section. If the starter won't turn when you try to crank the motor, the neutral safety switch is bad or the throttle is not positioned to close it, the slave solenoid is bad, the starter solenoid is bad, the wiring or ign switch is bad or the starter is bad. Some MerCruisers have a circuit breaker, which can trip. Do you have power to other devices?
