finally got the rough running fixed. NOw another problem. STarted right up ran great. Got to boat dock turned it off. NOw when I turn the key nothing happens at all. No clicking, not even the automatick choke will click. Its like dead as if you wqere turning the key but didn't have a battery hooked up. I checked connections to battery. NIce and tight, battery is new. Trim,lights,bilge pump all work fine. WHere do I begin to look?

Re: turn key and nothing happens

there is an inline 20 amp fuse in a fuse holder, near the solenoid. this provides power to the starting circuit. and controller.
