Help. Motor won't start

Jigger · 06-01-08, 09:16 AM

My Merc on the bass boat wouldn't start yesterday on the lake. Had to be pulled in.

Symptoms: It started as usual off the ramp and half a dozen times durning the day then I try to start it and all of a sudden it won't turn over. When I turn the key on the gauges all work and the tilt and trim works fine. I hear one click at the motor when I turn the key on. That's it. FYI, the 24 volt Trolling Motor is separate from the big motor. 2 batteries for the TM and a separate Starting battery for the big motor, accessories and tilt and trim.

Any thing simple I can look for before hauling it 60 miles to a mechanic? Thanks.
