1981 115hp chrysler won't go

[Drew1980]

Hi guys wondering if you could all give me bit of information recently pulled boat out for summer to make sure everything is going fine. Only to find it won't start at all believing it was starter motor I took it in an had it reconditioned only to find out it isn't the problem ....can hear solinoid clicking but that's as far as it will go so am wondering is it the voltage regulator or circuit breaker any suggestions would be fantastic as would like get it in the water ASAP

If the starter is new?And you hear a clicking??
When do you hear the click?As you turn the key or when you push in the choke?
Does the bendix engage the flywheel?
Battery cables tight,grounds too?
A little more info?
Voltage regulator/circuit breaker won't affect the starting.
Check the motor to see if it's locked up?

Test light: Ground it and then have someone turn key.
Then test the 2 posts on the solenoid.
If it has power through to the one to the starter?? It's still good.
If it's got power then the starters the problem.
Fill out the profile,you might be close to someone who can help?

Pretty sure it is the startersolenoid that has bad connections or a bad contact inside.
Check with a VOM that it is 12VDC at input terminal and then 12VDC at output terminal.
Also check at starter terminal. Look at the grounding too, thick wire from battery to grounding at powerhead.
