Yamaha 100HP 4 stroke. Motor turned over twice and tried to start. The third time and consequently thereafter, the starter ticks, and that's it.The gear to the starter engages to the fly wheel, but wont turn over. Both batteries are at full strength
 
Check the power cables between the battery and engine. Especially the ends where the connector lugs are crimped on under the heat shrink. Also check your battery switch if there is one fitted.
 
Sometimes that gear can also spin up and bind and therefore not drop down again. A gentle tap with a hammer will get it to drop down if that is what's happened.
