I have an 2007 Evinrude 115 hp etec with 180 hrs. When I try to start motor after sitting over night, the starter slowly turns the motor. if motor does not fire up on the initial try, the motor will not start, I have to wait about 20 mins and try it again. If I try to start the motor a second time, the starter appears to not have enough power to turn the motor over and just makes a clicking noise. I have tried starting multiple times including using a booster pack. I noticed the positive wire from the starter silonoid to started gets very hot along with the actual starter. I have replaced both batteries and made sure they are fully charged (12.8 volts). I have check all wiring from batteries to the starter Silonoid and verified all had good connection. I am not sure if this is a starter problem or if something is binding up to prevent the motor from turning over. I have tried pulling the plugs and tried turning the motor over which it did but slower than I expected. Note, if the motor is warm there is no problem turning over the motor and getting it to start. Please help!
