First off... I have searched and read multiple threads dealing with this issue but I still have a question.
When I attempt to start I get the slight click in the engine compartment. Because the engine is in the center pontoon there is not enough access to determine exactly where the click is coming from....and the boat is in a slip on the water currently. I replaced the slave solenoid a few months back and this seemed to fix the issue. I haven't taken the boat out in a month or so and today I show up and there it is again...click, no starter engagement.
I tried jumping the battery...click. I then jumped (hot-wired) between the two large terminals on the slave solenoid and the starter engaged immediately and the engine fired right up.
If I had a ground issue would I get a click or nothing, and would jumping between the terminals work?
Seems to me as though the slave solenoid has gone out once again but that seems really suspicious.
Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanks
