Re: Merc 200EFI Starter Trouble
Probably low voltage to the starter is the most likely cause. Check both pos and negative terminations (tight, clean) and you could also spray some WD40, etc. on the shaft the gear rides on. Battery should also be checked for full charge.<br /><br />You can verify if it's the solenoid by jumpering the solenoid (motor will turn over or at least try - have the ignition sw in the "OFF" position).
