The previous owner of this outboard, Mercury 15HP 2 Stroke 2002, has only used the pull handle. The battery box on the boat is forward mounted and the outboard cables never reached, so he never used the electric start. The pull start works great.
Today I tried the electric start, and no go. I can hear the solenoid click when I press the button on the tiller, but it doesnt start up.
Any ideas? Do I need a new starter? Could my kill switch be defective? I tested the kill switch out yesterday to make sure it functioned, and the outboard started fine with the pull start, and died just fine with the kill switch...
