"My port engine has decided no
"My port engine has decided not to even try to start. This came out of know where as we have been using the boat for awhile now. When i turn the key to start it, nothing happens. We have replaced the batteries, bypassed the ignition switch, but cant seem to get anything. everything looks ok on the engine, the wires are nice and neat, i reseated the wire harness and still no luck.
My question is this, what would you first take a look at? To me, it seems to be an electrical problem. do you think so also? if so, what exactly should i look for? I am going out there later today with a voltage meter to test wires. Also, could it be my starter? i have always assumed that even a bad starter would atleast make some kind of noise when you try to start it. am i correct in saying that? I do not hear any noises, not even a faint humm when i start it.
Thanks for your advice"
