Issue with no crank
 
I am having a issue with no crank on a 04 500efi I turn the ignition key all the warnings beep and light come on. Turn to the start postion and I get nothing. I checked I have power at starter. Anyone have any other ideas? Port engine starts no problem. I have had no issues in the past with it. Used the boat 2 weeks ago now having this issue
Thanks I advance

You have constant power? And also switched at solenoid? If so the solenoid or starter is bad... Make sure you have both power under crank, I think wire is brown or yellow

I am going to check that here in a few minutes. Am I looking for power or just voltage there?

If you have power the volts should be there, I would use a meter then you know voltage on case there is a bad connection, don't forget you need help to check switched power someone's gotta crank, I f by yourself see if volt gauge drops when you try, if it don't drop it's probably a bad connection or solenoid....

Did you pull round plug and reconnect? They get loose at tines causing issues check that first!

Did you get it figured out?

353Formula 11-09-2014 06:17 AM

Yes I fid pull the cannon plug made sure it was clean and tight. On the slave can o use an automotive one just to get boat winterized? If that's it still checking thou

Solenoids are same auto and boat, the starter itself is different with mesh vents

Alright I checked the slave solenoid I have 12.8 volts on one side with key on and on the other side I have nothing with the key in start position

353Formula 11-09-2014 07:32 AM

Now all after the test I tried to crank engine and it cranks don't know?

Sounds like loose connection or a solenoid going slowly... Make sure all grounds are good and run one between engines also.. If there isn't one there make one #4 wire between them

Thanks for the advice thou

Sounds like iffy grounding I had issues like that would have nothing one day then be fine all summer.... I did all new wiring and grounds never had issues again grounding is a huge deal in boats

replace the slave solonoid,they commonly go bad.

It could also be a bad spot on the starter motor commutator.
