if this is an outdrive the neutral safety is in the control box, move the selector while holding the key in start position, If nothing look behind the panel for 2 yellow/red stripe wires and short them together, then try the key switch.

Thanks Ike, however I am not getting juice across the slave Solenoid, just to it in the "C" terminal. Also, the click is definitely coming from the slave solenoid. Does that change things in your opinion, or do you think it is still teh SOlenoid on the starter?If the batteries are good, and you have checked the connections at the battery posts to make sure they are clean and tight, and when you turn the key and it just goes click, then it is most likely a bad Starter Solenoid. Not the Slave solenoid which has no moving parts and doesn't make any noise. The solenoid on top of the starter is most likely bad. I just had the same problem with my 72 SRV 190. Replaced the starter solenoid and problem solved.
Bad info Ike.. of course there are contacts inside this partIf the batteries are good, and you have checked the connections at the battery posts to make sure they are clean and tight, and when you turn the key and it just goes click, then it is most likely a bad Starter Solenoid.

Yes it goes to the hot terminal with all the others except the small r/y that goes on the inboard small terminal.All, I found this tread and after reading found it might help solve my issue. Last summer my boat would not start sometimes. It would click when I turn the key but not turn over. After attempting the key several times it would finally start. These are symptoms of a starter going bad on a car. I replaced the starter and now all I get is the "Click". I have not done the above circuit checks but based on the symptoms and path above I need to start with the slave solenoid. Also, secondary question every wiring diagram for my boat shows I have the starter wired correct ....except for an additional "Red Wire" not the battery feed hanging around. Connected or not the starter will not turn over. Based on the length and connector it looks like it should be connected to the hot terminal on the starter. Can anyone advise.
