Re: Engine won't start - clicking from relay in battery box

Back to your OP first: By "clicking," do you mean "click," or "click click click click click?" I think you've got Prowlersfish confused...... As for the neutral switch question, you've got a wiring diagram, right? I pulled mine out. Looks like all the neutral switch do...

Re: Engine won't start - clicking from relay in battery box

"Am I understanding that it would start jumped at the starter solenoid it would start then you replaced it and no longer does ?" Yes you are correct. I'll be checking for low voltage today. For the neutral safety, would the engine start and continue to run when I jump the starter? Trying ...

Re: Engine won't start - clicking from relay in battery box

That solenoid/relay is for the system that jumps the batteries . The problem may have been the neutral safety switch . But now it sounds like you have a starter solenoid issue too . Bad part or a Install issue ? So likely 2 problems to diagnose and fix . The relay/solenoid in the battery box clicks...

Re: Drive advice needed - Starboard Velvet Drive failed

To add to prowlersfish's response, smaller props will not do as well at slow speeds. Our props are smaller than stock and I often have to use some throttle to get the boat to respond when docking. Larger props would help with this and I will eventually swap them out. Thank you for your posts WayWeG...

Shore water connection not working

Hi All,

Our shore water hook up does not switch to allow water flow, we can only use the on board water tank.

Any thoughts on what the issue could be?
