1992 Mercury 40 hp outboard was running great except the key was sticking when I started it this season. Yesterday the wife and I were going to go for a ride and all I get is a click when I turn key. As I said, 3 days ago it was fine. Starter cranked ect. Anyone a little advice. I would guess the switch that activates the starter but would like some confirmation. tks for the help. Paul

you need to check the switch (solenoid) ...try by passing the solenoid with a set of jumper cables, check all battery connections also.
