Hi all. have a strange issue, changed the oil and lower gear oil on my outboard. On conclusion, the trim will not work, nor will the motor crank. Have carefully looked at all connections/circuit breaks, no loose connections or tripped breakers.

Have done the following:

Verified it is in neutral
Verified the kill switch is in proper position
Verified that nav lights/pumps etc work.
Switched a known good battery for crank motor, no joy.

Trim/tilt was working before changing oil(s)

I am at a loss, what could be causing this issue. All tips appreciated .

Thanks Dan
 
were you able to solve problem? Sounds like battery connection inside cowling.

Think I sent reply incorrectly. did you solve your issue?
Was thinking it is a battery connection under the cowling.

I'm new to engine work and have 2006 60 HP that turns over but will not start.
I have changed everything but my dog's name. Still will not start.
