At a loss. The boat sat for several months. Had to jump it to start it. Ran for an hour just fine. Sat for a few hours and again started and ran for several more hours. The next day would not start. Assumed a bad battery that needed to be replaced anyway. Dropped a new battery in and still no start and I also noticed no trim. Assuming everything noted prior is unrelated. Not even a click at the starter.....The blower works fine, bilge pump works fine, accessories, etc. All fuses under the dash look fine, the battery cables and ground look fine. Kill switch looks ok. Any thoughts out there would be much appreciated!

Start by making sure you have power at the ignition switch and the power is being sent to the starter solenoid.

start by cleaning the batter connections, the cable connections at the motor block and starter, and all the connections up to the helm

ok - all those connections are tight and don't show any signs of rust or corrosion but I will clean them. Again I don't even get a click at the starter. I'm starting to feel like I have an issue with the control handle.
