Hello all,

I have a mercury 135 that has problems cranking periodically.Most of the time it cranks and starts right up. Sometimes when I turn ignition alarm chirps and nothing happens. Have tried checking all fuses, tapping on starter, checking grounds that I know of. Sometimes it only takes a few min and it cranks , sometimes I have to wait overnight. Im not that knowledgeable but pretty mech inclined but as this is my first boat im learning.Thanks for all the help.

make sure all your electrical connections are clean and corrosion free even the fuse holders . use dielectric grease to protect from any further oxidizing at the connections.
