Waverunner III started fine then next time absolutely nothing. Battery is up, lanyard attached etc. Looked at fuse looked good. Could it be the kill switch stuck or some such and how do I check for that?:(

there should be a plug under the hood from that switch,, I had one many years ago that did the same thing and I had to unplug it to get it back to the ramp from an island where it quit running

Check to make sure the connections at the battery are clean.If that doesnt work,put a known good battery in and try. You can take the start/stop switch off and clean the terminals inside as well. If you arent getting any click then it could be several things. The starter bendix may be engaged or starter is just bad.
