Got a quick question.Boat been running good but this weekend it tried to act up on me for a second.Turned the key after fishing a spot and it wouldnt turn over period.It was as if the cables were not even connected to the battery.so i checked the cables from ignition sweitch and tried and still nothing.So i went and took off cover on motor and start checking all the wires so i turned the key again and it started up.Any idea why it would do that???Luckily i was in a good area just in case it didnt want to start up period again
Not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but sounds like maybe a bad or corroded connection somewhere. I took all of mine off and cleaned them with a small wire brush and re-installed with diaelectric (?) grease.

yeah im like you TexasRed no expert either but one was corroded but didnt know which wire that was.It look like it might have been the starter wire but really not sure.
Happened to me once. The battery connections looked and seemed fine - nice and tight. But they weren’t fine. Cleaned and sanded the connections and reconnected nice and tight. Problem solved.
It ain’t no mystery…this beer’s history!
Sounds like corrosion to me, Towed a friend of mine home last saturday cause it wouldnt crank, cleaned all the connections back home and it fired right up

did some work on the motor and find out to come it was corrosion and the fuse from the relay
yelp on the motor chris.i finally found the right fuse at o rileys that was the right size.so will take it out this weekend and see if that was the problem even though its turning over and everything now.just want to test drive it anyways.
