Took our 2007 Mariah SX19 out this evening and it would not turn over. Initially, was getting a clicking sound. Assumed it was the battery and tried to jump it but still would not turn over and regressed to where there was no response at all when turning key.

Had the boat out yesterday with no indication of a problem.
No voltage shown on dash guage when key is turned.
All accessories and trim work fine with no indication of a weak battery.

Someone suggested it might be a breaker on the starter. Will try to investigate that in the morning.

Looking for any help in diagnosing the problem. Images of the starter/breaker would be helpful.

Thanks,

Have you given the starter motor a tap to see if it's stuck?

Problem solved. Cable had separated from connector. Was heavily wrapped in electrical tape or I would have spotted it at the lake. Easy fix - will purchase a new connector and crimp it properly.

Thanks for the response.

What cable was it? My boat is doing the exact samething.

It was the negative (red) cable that runs from the starter to the battery.
