new stator?

Re: stupid bayliner wont start

stator has nothing to do with the start circuits,<br /> check the cable ends and the starter solinoid.if all is well then look at the starter.. do you have a DVM?

Have you tested the starter

Re: stupid bayliner wont start

Go thru JB's post and then report back. You may want to pick up a maintenanace manual, they help alot in diagnosing problems and will tell you the tools and procedures to use. Radio Shack sells a good inexpensive DVM and it will come in handy when you need to test eletrical circuits and components.
