2000 Bayliner 3.0L mercruiser starter problem

[dbritton]

I am having starter cranking problems in my 2000 model Bayliner Capri with 3.0 litre 4 cylinder enginer.

I have replaced starter and fully charged battery. Turning ignition switch makes a single click (I presume the solenoid) but does not turn starter over and does not crank engine. I can jump the solenoid posts on the starter and it will spin. I am told the slave solenoid could be my problem. But I cannot find it. I have tried to trace the yellow/red wire and the red/purple wire to try to find it but they disapper in to the harness wrap. I think I can recognize it if someone can give me a general direction or area to look in. A picture of the location would be super and very much appreciated.

Thanks
Dave Britton

Thanks Don. I've looked through many of your posts. I'll bring out the old test light and multi-meter and follow these steps. I am still wondering where the heck to find the slave solenoid if for no other reason than curosity. Thanks again for your help
