Hello New to the forum.
I have read some of the starter problems and I cant find a solution to my problem yet. I have a Evenrude outboard on my pontoon 25 hp. Took it out of storage put the battery in that was purchased new last season and turned the key got one click noise and no start or starter turning. My lights work, that is all that I have as far as other items that would draw from the battery. So I put a charger on the battery and it siad it was charged. I removed the starter from the enging and put jumper cables on it from the boat battery and the starter spun but did not kick out. Being that my boat is up nort and I live in the city I took that starter home to my local rebuild shop and he stated that the magnets in the starter were brittle and broken. He replaced the starter with a new one and did tell me that my solinoid was fine. I havent put the starter back on as i havent been able to get back up north yet. But the question I have is why did in not turn at all on the motor when I turned the key but did with jumper cables on it. The shop said I did have a bad starter but im so afraid thats not the problem. Can anyone help or have gone through this as well. Thank you
