Re: starter will not turn merc 200efi

Does the starter make any noise at all? Take a test light, hook it to the starter terminal on the starter, & to ground, or - on the battery, hit key to start, see if the light goes on. If it don't no voltage to starter, if it does, & starter does nothing at all, starter is most likely bad. This is assuming a good battery, charge that first! If the starter engages the flywheel but does not turn, pull spark plugs & try to turn by hand. Let me know what happens, & I will try to help from there. Good luck, Joe
