- Mercruiser 5.7 liter, 265HP, Garmin 541s
I splashed 2 weeks ago and all was fine. Started right up, took a little cruise and tied up. I went to the boat this past weekend and went to start her up and heard the dreaded clicking noise you normally get when the battery is dead. I checked the charger and it reads full. All electronics are working including the bilge pump, radio, blower...etc. The starter was replaced last summer so thats not it. Someone told me there might be a "relay" on this engine (Mercruiser, 5.7 liter, 265 HP) and that could be the culprit.
After doing some cleaning on the boat I tried it again and it started as normal. I shut it down and tried again and more clicking then it started so whatever it is works/fails intermittently.
Am I on the right track with this relay thing and would love more information about it.
Thanks all
