I can start my motor manually (pull start)but not from key, tilt no longer works,
Changed batteries, checked fuse (good).
Earlier in the season i could change the battery and the engine would turn over and tilt worked, then a week later the engine would not start from key and now the tilt doesn't even work, when i look at the voltage gauge it seems not even to be at the proper voltage, i can move the key around and it will jump the voltage around, seems to be something drawing current can find where i removed everything else from the battery but the main cables, and checked all the connectors that i could see.

Found problem, battery cable was chewed thru (muskrat) just enough so i would get power just not enough to start engine.

now where do i find a dual battery cable for merc.
