Update: as many mentioned be sure to check the neutral safety switch. If the motor spins and does not start it could just be that.
Be sure to check which version fits your boat, the device is easy to replace and cheap. If it looks rusted and bad, just get a new one.
The solenoid is a critical component in the starting of an engine. In salt water it is common for these to rust / or simply 1 wire to fall off due to rust. This causes the engine to not start. It is an easy thing to troubleshoot / check if you are out in the water and trying to figure out what is wrong.
When turning the ignition key you should hear a clicking sound. This is the solenoid engaging. If there is no click it means the key is not allowing power to get through to the starter. Most of the time it is not the solenoid itself that is broken but simply the ignition cable which activates the solenoid. If the solenoid does not receive a positive voltage to initiate, it will do nothing.
You can a small wire to test and see if this is the issue.
I didn't hear where that yellow wire went to? Mine goes no where! Just a dead end!
I'm getting no click when I turn the key.
Man you the Goat! I was getting nothing from the key switch. Checked my solenoid cables and the ground was loose. Tightened it up and she’s cranking again. Thanks!
Thanks mate we were stuck out in the bay, watched this video and luckily we had some spare wire and used your method and then BANG we re up and running. Ya legend 😀
I have an issue with my solenoid not getting any power when the key is turned...nothing happens at all, no click, nothing. I just assumed it was a bad solenoid, but of course when I swapped it out for a new one still the same issue....wish I had come across this video sooner. It must be an issue between the key and the power to the solenoid...owning an old boat can be frustrating, but you do end up learning a lot along the way. I inherited it from my uncle right before he passed and I've been trying to get it out on the lake since. My wife keeps telling me to just sell it, but I won't be happy until I get it fully operational and do at least a few days of fishing in it!
I have same problem turn out that neutral safety switch is bad. It's now bypass.
I got the clicking noise so i bypassed solenoid and it didnt respond ordered new starter it fired right up
I get a click but nothing jumped my starter off the battery it spins so starter i I don’t think is bad
Very helpful. Thank you. My boat went thru Ian. Still on lift. I have power as engine trims up, horn blows, bilge pump runs but no click when I turn key ? Worried salt water got in / over engine. Boat seems ok some water pumped out with bilge but inside of boat looks ok. Marina power out so can’t lower boat but can get to engine ok from boat.
My boat will crank but will not start but the spark plugs do not make spark I don't know whats wrong with the spark plugs I checked them and their good
Without a doubt, one of the best tutorials I have had the pleasure of watching. It gets straight to the point. Tells me how to fix a certain problem. Without all the soapbox, personal opinions and grandstanding. Thank you.
Good straight forward advice,thank you.
Great video and excellent information! Thanks so much!
Like your on the water fixes, simple to understand and to fix.
Great video sir. Short and helpful.
Thank you for your help my starter solenoid wires are broken from corrosion. I will try this on my 50 HP Evinrude outboard
Very informative tutorial. I believe I have a bad neutral safety switch that's intermittent. This should help! .
Awesome and simple
Great Teacher!
Excellent info.
