One problem and one question. I have a new Yamaha 150 4 stroke. I haven't started it in about 3 weeks. I tried to start it this weekend and I got nothing. No sound, no clicks, no electronics worked either.<br /><br />I read JB's "outboard won't start" faq and it said to measure the voltage at the terminal. How do I do that? The battery is only 3 or 4 months old. Could it die already? I am in coastal North Carolina. It has not been very cold yet.<br /><br />Also, the wires coming off the battery had two fuse holders in them, a 25 and a 30. They are supposed to be in watertight cases, but both were filled with water. I dumped the water out and dried everything and cleaned the metal parts of the fuses. Still nothing.<br /><br />I don't know if it is a battery problem or a wet fuse/connection problem. The fuses were not blown.<br /><br />Any suggestions?<br /><br />P.S. I don't know much about engines and know squat about the wiring, but I follow directions very well if anyone has help.
