My 1988 Sylvan boat with a 50hp. Mariner motor isn't working. I tried buying a new battery, but the motor simply won't turn over. It is very odd because we've kept the boat in perfect condition, and it has worked great every year. After about a minute of trying to get it started, the negative connection on the battery gets very hot, and the starter doesn't work. However, I think it is something more than just a battery problem because the engine should be starting. Any ideas whatsoever would be a great help, otherwise I'll be taking it into the shop tomorrow. Thanks, Sartell Angler P.S- I wish i was a mechanic right about now.
Yes I cook the hamburger with onions and some seasonings. I dont know why but if I use homeade pizza sauce or better store stuff it just aint the same. I hate the stuff otherwise.
