Ok, this year I went to start my boat and the gauges moved but nothing, not even a click. I had the battery charged and tested by Oriellys and it is a good battery. So I tried to bypass the starter and it just spinned so I bought a new starter and hooked it up and got the same thing but this time when I bypassed it it tried to start the engine so I switched the wires where it connects to the solenoid and when I turned the key to auxialary it tried to start but I should have to turn the key all the way so I switched the wires back like my original was and again nothing. I bought a new ignition switch but dont think its the problem. I also checked all the fuses and nothing. Any suggestions?
