Bad Battery or Starter?
10/18/17 @ 7:13 AM
The last few times out with my boat I have charged the starting battery before I go out, sometimes the night before. When i start my boat it turns over as normal and continues to do so every time I fire it up to move. However, sometimes after 6/7 moves, I will go to turn the key and the motor makes no sound. I will wait a few seconds, try again, sometimes I get a little sound that is sluggishly trying to start, sometimes nothing. After I do this few times it will start. I just don't know if it's something with my starter or if my battery doesn't have enough power to engage the starter. Any thoughts? The battery is maybe 3-4 years old. Engine is a 2001 honda 4 stroke 50 hp.
