Fishin Dan Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Im in the middle of trying to winterize my boat and i cant get my motor to turn over. All i can get is a loud click everytime i turn the key. Everything is hooked up and the battery is charged. I cant figure out whats wrong! Can anyone help?

Northlander Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Motor in gear just a little bit? I will say when my stater went thats what my motor sounded like. Just a click when I turned the key. That would be very odd for it to happen now though. Im going with throttle lever not locked in neutral totally. Hopefully its that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhjr Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Not in neutral all the way is my guess too. It happens to me occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I don't think you'd be hearing a loud click if it was in gear. I'd first look to see if your bendix is jamming on the flywheel. Next step is clean the connections at the battery. If that doesn't work I'd check the ground connection on the engine and + connection on the solenoid then the + on the starter.

boatfixer Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Frank is right, if you hear a click it's not the neutral safety switch. Check the connections as suggested and use a 12v test light to check voltage going to and leaving the solenoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I'm guessing bad connection to the battery and not enough power to turn it over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
