Hey group! Glad to be a part. Hopefully some day I can be of help, but now I need help. Bought my first boat last August, took it out a few times, no problems. Dumb me did not know to winterize, just parked in garage for the winter. Last week, I hooked up the garden hose, charged the battery and tryed to crank.. I ran down the battery trying. Engine was turning over fine, and it tryed to start a couple times. I put battery back on charger, went for three new plugs, and five gallons of fresh gas, and tryed again. All the starter will do now is engage the fly wheel but not turn over. After a few of these keyings, the ground battery cable and bottom of starter are hot.<br />I have an engine manual ordered, but just need a place to start. My engine is a 1994 Mercury Sport-Jet 90. Thanks guys.
