Mercruiser start issue

[Jakem]

I have an issue with start...all of a sudden it wouldn't start and when I turn key to start the oil pressure and temp gage pin full...no dashlights...everything else works

I've changed starter solinoid and the main breaker

Sounds like a bad connection somewhere

DID YOU CRANK THE ENGINE ...? THEN THE ENGINE DOES NOT RUN ?
USE A METER TO LOOK UP WHERE THE VOLTAGE IS !

It started fine....then I shut it off...aboutb15 min then went to restart...and that's all I got...

SO THE ENGINE DID NOT CRANK ..... USE A METER TO SEE THE VOLTAGE ON THE STARTER MOTOR / SOLENOID ....IF THE VOLTAGE NOT ON IT THEN USE THE VOLTMETER TO SEE IF THE KEY SWITCH OR A FUSE OR A CONNECTOR ON THE SWITCH //.. probably the solenoid or the starter motor brushes ..

Right it was just dead...I will get meter out...just seems very random

Bad ground to solinoid...thanks fellas all good now
