I have an old 1978 Defever with Lehman 120's and all of a sudden I get nothing when I rotate the ignition switch to S (start) on either engine. To eliminate a lot of discussion, I can jumper straight from battery to starter solenoid on each and start from helm using switch. This eliminates, switch, breakers (that I know of), start relay, starter solenoid, batteries (new Optima). I have bypassed switches. I have 12 volts at the cable leading to the solenoids. But, neither will kick when twisting switch at the helm to start. However, both with start using helm switch when only positive is jumped directly from battery to solenoid. I have disconnected the on/off switches and jumped from the battery side of the switch. I have disconnected a parallel solenoid that evidently kicks whenever either engine is being started to put both starter batteries in parallels. The only thing I see common is a BlueSea BatteryLink ACR pn 7600. According to what I've read this is only to assist for charging. I have a call into BlueSea; but, I thought I would throw this out for ideas... Thanks
