Hello to the list
I just got back from the boat. This was the 1st time down after I posted for help on the list.With the list help, I fixed it. The first thing I did was jump across the solenoid and it started. I did this on battery 1 position and battery 2 position. It started both times.Then almost everyone said that maybe I had left a wire off the battery. I know that was not the case. Next, I cleaned all off the connections. Still, it would not start with the key. I then figured it had to be a wire that had come off. I looked for a post or terminal with no wire. And I found a terminal on the back of the solenoid with no wire on it. I could not find a wire for it. I then hung upside to look under the engine. There it was. Connected it up and I will be damned it now workes.I had also posted this same cry for help on both of the Nauticat sites. I got no response from them. Only from you guys on the Trawler list.I have been a member of this list for about 20 years.Thank you. Ya'll are GREAT
