Hi, I used my boat 2 weeks ago and no problem. Now I'm not even getting a click when trying to start. Battery voltage and connections good, but put on charger anyway. Oddly, the tilt/trim motor won't run either?? No doubt a connection. I've tried jumping the start solenoid and 12v direct to the starter, nothing. Any help greatly appreciated! John

It sounds like it may be a bad ground. Look at the ground connection on the engine block.

Check the fuse on the motor?
You sure all the wires at the battery are hooked up?
