Default 65 hp 1969 mercury won't start

I seem to have no power to the starter. It worked yesterday, then I installed a new electric fuel pump, starter does not work today. I jumped across the starter and got nothing. There is a clicking noise coming from the switch box. Any Ideas. The motor has a thunderbolt ignition.

Thanks,

Pat

Pat,

Check your battery and see if it has discharged. You might have hooked up the fuel pump wrong or have a short in the wires that you might have installed.
