Hey guys,

I have a Henry O with a 92' 70hp johnson on it. I just had it serviced this past week and even took it on the water fishing this morning. This afternoon I decided to go back out in the water and went to fire up the motor but it wouldn't even make a sound when I turned the key. I'm a fairly new boater, so I am not even sure of the most simple problem. It ran great when I took it out earlier and has been running great since I bought it.. My question was.. what are some common problems that this might be? Could this be the battery, starter, or something else? Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated!

Are you sure it was in neutral? Did you check battery connections? They need to be very clean and tight. Have the battery load tested at your friendly local auto parts store. Let us know what you find.
