The good news....got the boat in the water after engine rebuild! Ran great for 2 minutes on a sea trial....now back to the driveway to fix all the issues I found during the test.
It is a 91 Bayliner capri bowrider, 4.3 Merc, alpah 1
Having a strange problem and not sure how to diagnose and was looking for some help. Intermittently I go to fire up the engine and all I get is a click sound. The sound is coming from the 50amp circuit breaker not the solenoid. I tried the obvious, jumping across the solenoid and go nothing. There seems to be no power to it. Is it possible that the circuit breaker is toast?
When this problem occurs I can leave it for 5 minutes, come back and it fires up fine, other times it takes longer (hours).
There is no specific situation that makes this happen, sometimes it occurs when the engine has been run, other times I try and cold start it with the earmuffs sitting in the driveway and it still happens.
Hoping this is an easy fix....please help!
