Hello all,
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a I/O 5.0 liter merc engine with an alpha one drive in a 21 Bayliner.
I went to start the motor and nothing happened. The boat started great, with no problems, 2weeks ago and ran beautifully. Not a single problem 2 weeks ago. We flushed it out and put it away properly. Now when I turn the key nothing happens. I can hear one click when the key is turned but nothing else. The click sounds like its coming from the back top of the motor. The batteries are fully charged, there's oil in the motor and water running through it via the garden hose. I don't know if this is related or the cause, but we have had ALOT of rain recently. When I removed the engine cover I found some water on the top of the motor. It wasn't a huge amount, but there was definitely some water collected there. Could that have shorted out something? What is the one click I hear towards the rear/top of the motor?
What can I do to troubleshoot?
