i own a 2000 martinique 2400 with a 5.0l engine that will not start. i followed the procedure that Don S detailed on the "Trouble shooting your starting system" i have power all the way from the battery to the ignition switch, to the throttle, relay and finally to the starter. i also have power from the batteries to main port of the starter.
when i turn the key the gauges move a little and i hear a small whining. no clicking in the engine and no starter action what so ever.
a little history on the boat. the aft end was submerged and the water intrusion came up to the exhaust manifold. the water did not reach any of the breakers in the engine compartment nor the alternator. the starter however was submerged and damaged. i replaced it with a rebuilt one of the same type and ensured that it was a marine starter.
this is my first boat ever and it is my understanding that there might be a kill switch, and a blower.
please help.
