starter troule

i tried to start my boat today and all i heard was a click....tried shorting the solenoid, but that didn't work...now not even a click...checked fuses under dash, they were ok....is there a fuse somewhere else that may have blown.....thanks

If you get too much water around your engine the best thing you can do is to get it started and run it till it's good and hot. Preferably for a hour or so. jamesgangnc

It's possible, but not likely. The first thing you need to do is check your battery's condition and state of charge. Then you can check your wiring for proper connections. Jim Jim

What he said...and check for corroded battery terminal posts/connectors.
