"I have a 2001 model 40hp mariner outboard that won’t start. I bought the boat last summer and it started first time every time and has been sitting idle since last summer. I did crank it over once during winter. I bought a multimeter and checked the battery. It has 12.7 volts. The accessories on the boat work fine but the motor won’t crank at all. Not even a noise. I replaced the spark plugs and can turn the flywheel easily by hand with the plugs removed. I have booked it in for a service but cannot get it done until mid January. My 10 year old daughter is hounding me already to go fishing and she has only been on holidays 2 days.
Any suggestions as where to start checking, and how?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
