Not a Boat Question?

Question

I have a see doo 4 tec jetski. I charged the battery yesterday and connected back up. Had trouble starting it, as it just clicked when I tried to start it. Kept trying and it finally started. Went for a ride and as I slowed down to idle it stopped and I could not get it started again. It showed all eights on the indicator when trying to start it. But it just clicked when trying to start it. A red warning light was blinking on and off before the motor stopped. Could it be a loose connection on the battery?? Thanks Arch

Welcome to JA remove the battery cables from battery and clean them with sand paper or a wire brush. Do this also to the battery you a socket, not a screwdriver to tighten the bolts down
