Does not click. Yes, it started after the winter storage, but now it won't. We have not taken the boat out since winter storage.

Answer
It might be your neutral safety switch on the transmission or at the controls.Are your battery's fully charged.Yes you can jump it at the battery,if it still does not start,you have a problem other then a low battery.Check the neutral safety switch first and see what happens.Let me know.

I'm sorry. I do not understand "Neutral safety switch." The battery is fully charged. If we have to replace the solenoid, can we use an auto parts store?
Accepted Answer
The neutral safety switch is a safety device,the engine has to be in neutral to start,check to make sure your shift lever is in neutral,before you start,sometimes you have to move the shift handle a little to make sure.If the solenoid is bad you will need to go to a marine parts store to get the right one.
