I have a Mercruiser 140 attached to a 1987 Doral TRX.
replaced the alternator belt last night and hooked up the muffs to try and start it. Tried to start the boat and after 4 or 5 tries the battery died. came close to starting before battery died.
So I got another battery and the motor actually turned over a couple times but wouldn't stay started. Heard some clicking as well.
Second battery also died and the battery terminal was very hot.
Going to try it again later tonight with a recharged battery, but any suggestions on what might be wrong??
I'm hoping it will just start, but not sure.
Thanks
