"I just purchased a new 06 boa

"I just purchased a new 06 boat with a F150. The boat has never been used and been sitting for 2.5 years at a local dealer. The boat has been running fine, but went out this week and turned it off and when I tried to refire the starter would not engage. The starter would only partial turn over the motor. I have a new battery and fully charged. As quickly as the problem started it is now gone."
 
"Check the minimum cranking am

"Check the minimum cranking amps required for your motor against the minimum cranking amps on your battery..you may need a stronger battery, also check to be sure your battery cable connections are tight and clean..just a bit loose or corrosion can weaken that connection so it won't turn the starter motor"
 
"Thanks, I will but it just se

"Thanks, I will but it just seemed like the motor was temorary locked. The bendix would partially engage for a second and then it would shut off. It alomst seemed like the motor was in gear."
 
"It just sounds like a weaknes

"It just sounds like a weakness in the battery system. Try to turn the motor over with the spark plugs removed. If it turns over easily without any compression(plugs removed), then it may be a problem with a weak battery or connections. Let me know how it goes. Good Luck."
