Hi, wondering if anyone can help me out. First time posting to this forum.
I have a 1996 Searay 175 18ft bowrider. Mercrusier 135 inboard / outboard.
Outboard trim works, it will go up and down. However, the lights, horn (which was intermittent anyways) blower, radio will will not turn on and most importantly, the engine will not crank. When we first tried to start the boat last week, it tried to crank, but when I turned the key again, nothing happened at all. We thought the battery was dead, had it charged, the auto parts store said it would not take a charge, so we bought a brand new one. Installed it today, and still have no engine crank, no lights, blower, radio, etc but the outdrive will go up and down and the trim motor sounds strong, it seems to be getting plenty of power.
Does anyone have a clue what might be going on here?I checked the few fuses I could find, they seem ok. We replaced the starter about 6 months ago. Even if the starter was bad, that wouldn't explain the lack of lights, blower, radio, etc. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
