Won't start

[Wiremapper]

Hello all,

I have a 2006 4 Winns with a 3.0 alpha Mercury inboard/outboard.
It has very few hours on it and we were out tubing the other day.
I had shut the motor on and off numerous times to have the kids set back up again and on this occasion, when I went to start again, the starter would not even click, but there was power to everything else, pumps, lights, everything.

I checked the battery and was green, terminals were clean and tight. No fuses blown that I could see under the console.

Had to get towed in and when I got home, trid it there and it worked.

Any ideas? And what is a TK fuse?

Re: Won't start

You might check the other end of your battery cable where it connects to the starter/solenoid.
I've had problems where the cable terminal had a good connection to the battery, but the cable was corroded where it connected to the terminal.

This isn't really a Four Winns issue; it's a Mercruiser/engine issue. It should be moved to the stern drive forum for better advice.
