I really need some help on a electrical problem
I really need the groups to help.
I have 3 battery house bank and 1 starting battery. Theengine would not start on battery 1 (start battery). It would start on battery2 or both. It would try to start on 1 but did not have enough juice to turn itover but would try. I took the battery out and had it checked out. The shop saidthat it was bad, looked like a bad cell. So I bought a new one.
I got backed to the boat and put the new one in. Now it will not start at all. Not in 1 or 2or both.
The key switch is 4 positions. In acc. position theinstruments come on. Then in off pos. everything is off. In the start position, theinstruments and oil buzzer would come on. Push the key in and everything goesoff. The instruments go off, the buzzer goes off. There is no trying to start.Just dead like when you have it in gear. I check the pilothouse gear shiftthen ran up to the flybridge. Both stations are in neutral. Then I checked thetransmission shift linkage. It is shifting in and out of Rev., Netru. andForward.
I think it might be the key switch.PS: My engine is a Ford Lehman SP 90

The first thing that I would do is to turn the ignition key to start and
have someone wiggle the shift lever. Sometimes the shift lever may be in
neutral but the neutral safety switch remains engaged until that 'magical'
spot is aligned. If that is good, look for a dropped wire, most likey
around the battery that was replaced. After that, it is probably time to
chase wires and connections with a multimeter, trying to figure out where
the loss of voltage is. Hopefully someone with more electrical experience
can short circuit my suggestions.

My car will do this if one connection is bad. Be sure all connections including engine ground is clean and tight.
Good luck
