Force 1987 85HP

[Plainolelow]

Hey all. Well my boat has been great this year untill recently. The past few days I cant start it. The battery is fully charged. The starter is 1yr old. Starter solenoid is about 6mo old. The problem is when I turn the key it just clicks. The starter barely turns. Im getting over 12v before and after solenoid. Its a single click i think from the solenoid which is what its suppose to do if im not mistaken. Any help will be great thanks.

If you have a Clmers or Seloc, start checking thru the ignition circuits.

If you have +12v on the starter stud and the starter barely turns you probably have a bad connection of the ground cable, either to the engine block or at the battery. Could also be a bad cable.<br /><br />You might have an ignition problem, too, but nothing you tell us suggests that and it has nothing to do with the starter problem.

Measure volts on your battery with a volt meter. If it is below 12.65 a day after you charge it chances are your battery is toast.
