Starting problem

[Duckmanley]

I have a 2019 mercury 60hp outboard. It will not start. Turn the key and nothing. My radio, depth finder and lights all work. Could it be the neutral switch? Or should I look elsewhere?

Your radio, depth finder and lights may be directly connected to the battery and may work w/o any power to the ign switch.. Your ign key is likely fused at the motor. Check that fuse first. Do your gauges work? They are usually powered by the ign key.

If fuse is good and she doesn't crank, rock the throttle handle to "exercise" the neutral safety switch. If that fixes it, see where the throttle handle needs to be so it will work.
