    Boat won't start

    Need some help... Have a 2008 20V... Both batteries are good. Tried jumping the main battery from the Aux battery. Fuel pump comes on but starter won't engage - no sound. Help !!

      I sat tied to a dock at a marina one time with the same issue. We pulled another boat over, tried jumping, tried all kinds of things. We worked, soaked with sweat for about an hour. I was a total noob in my first year. Embarassing..... Glad it worked out!

        Been boating for 35 yrs, all types of boats. A couple years ago on a larger twin diesel boat I had I couldn't get one engine to fire. Took me 15 minutes to realize that one of the gear levers was just out of neutral...

        Look for the obvious things first!

          X2 been there buddy. Hurts the pride a bit, but it's the first thing you check when it happens again. Kill switch is another one!
