Yep, I tell my sons always check the simplest thing first cause that can happen. I also have a 50 merc that was not stating you would hear a click than nothing I put a multimeter to the starter and the volts were good , tried to start it and the volts dropped to nothing, I talked to a mechanic and he said YOU HAVE TO BRING IT IN you have a massive voltage drop so I got back to the boat thought about it and said let me check the terminals on the battery? Guess what the ground cable was very loose,,,,,problem solved .......
always start at the beginning.
