I have a strange issue with an 88 Johnson 70 hp , J70TLCCA. It will not crank and Tilt/trim does not work. It is acting as if the batteries are dead as it is getting some power but not enough. Tilt/trim makes some noise and you can here a "click" when trying to start the motor. All fuses have been checked out. The ignition switch has been changed out. The batteries have been charged and checked as well. I even tried jumper cables from my truck to see if that would help. The only other clue is that when I try to start the motor my gauges all go to an extreme reading making me thing it is grounding out but I can not find where. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Wayne
