Engine wont crank over

[atomb]

Well Just put the outdrive back on a nd went to fire up motor but the starter doesnt want to engage the flywheel and turn the motor over. new stater that was working fine with motor not hooked up to drive. Charged battery
When I mess witht the control handle it will engage for a second every few tries.
kill switch is in correct position. Im thinking neutral safety switch . Any ideas guys thanks for any help. have not gotten the boat wet yet this season
Should i take apart the controls?

Most likely your neutral switch or wires/connections. Hooking up the outdrive might just move the cable enough to throw it off.

well I just got her started and ran her for 5 minutes and then turned her off. Now shes acting stubborn again. Not sure what got her going ion the first place.
Any suggestions.. I played touched the neutral safety switch wires meessed witht the controlller fiddeled with it mostly and that was it. anf the un off lanyard switch seems to be intertwined with this issue every time i flick the switch i get a little bit o crankin.

Im really not looking forward to pulling the starter. This are of the boat is not designed for humans.
