I have an inline 6 cylinder Mariner 115.
I used the boat over 30 times last year without issue. The boat has been in the garage for about 4 months with no use.
I decided to charge the battery and fire her up as i was thinking about going fishing.
So with a fully charged battery (actually tried 2 different batteries just to make sure it wasnt a bad battery.), brand new terminal connectors to ensure a good connection i turn the key and all i hear is "CLICK". Not multiple clicks like a car with a dead battery just one click and nothing happened...
I got a volt meter and checked the solenoid and it is getting power.
I called a few places and they said it was probably the solenoid...so i went and picked one up... heck for 23 bucks it was worth a shot.
I just installed the new solenoid and nothing changes....
I am at a loss and cant afford to pay someone $75 per hour to track down the issue plus cost of repair.... so i turn to you guys here at iboats for some advice and wisdom.
Please help!! if you need more info i will be checking this every few minutes...
Thanks to all that can help!!
