I have a 1978 Johnson on my boat. I have not used the boat in over 10 years as I got out of fishing. Well I have missed it and want to get back on the water.
The boat needs a few things as you can imagine, but before I get to deep I wanted to make sure it will still run. I put in a NEW battery, clean terminals, checked fuses, and there is no wire damage.
When I turn the key there is a "click" on the motor. Of course that would be the solenoid. Nothing else happens. I had someone work with me to turn the key and see where we loose power using a multi-meter. Odd thing is, we can't find power anywhere, even to the solenoid. Now I realize how stupid that sounds because we do know how to use a multi-meter.
So of course the starter does nothing, just sits there.
The boat is located in Deerfield and I am hoping that someone is willing to help me through this.
Any thoughts?
