I am trying to launch an old center console boat I just purchased.<br /><br />The battery was just charged, but when I turn the key, nothing happens. The battery cables are tight, and when I jump the solenoid, the starter will turn the flywheel, but there is no ignition.<br /><br />Once, the warning buzzer came on with the key turned, but it doesnt anymore. I am wondering if the emergency kill switch or the neutral safety switch might be bad.<br /><br />Are there any easy ways to check or bypass these?<br /><br />Thanks :confused:

geet,<br /><br />Look for a fuse under the hood. It is in a conector that looks like a regular wire connector.
