Ok so I haven't used the boat since last year. I put new plugs in changed the lower unit oil and added fluid to the power trim. I got a new battery today cause my old was dead. The boat will not start. When I turn it over I hear a clicking that is coming from the back left side of the motor its not the starter making noise. What could that be? The motor is a 77' 70 hp Johnson. Thanks for looking

Re: Not Starting

The clicking you hear is probably the starter solenoid. It does sound to me like you have a bad battery connection and or terminals. Remove and and all battery and terminal connections, wire brush clean and reinstall! Post back results! Monte1961
