force electric trouble

[abbotm5]

I have a force 120 on a 18ft bayliner capri. I took it out for the first time this year and after about a half an hour it went dead. The motor doesnt turn over when turning the key. Everything else works, horn, bilge. When it first happened the trim didnt work, but after a little while and checking the fuses the trim started to work. I have no idea what is going on so I figured I post it up. Any thoughts?

Reset the circuit breaker on the side of the engine, check the fuse on the engine and see if it is blown if it has one.
Check all wiring on the engine, make sure grounds are tight and clean and crimped ends are good and tight, battery has full charge, check under the flywheel for chafed or broken stator or trigger wiring. Good Luck!

Re: force electric trouble

Make sure you are in neutral and the kill switch is not tripped.

The kill switch may also have a loose or disconnected wire.
