outboard troubles... electrical

[jamesbalog]

Have a 1990 johnson 175 which had electrical failure last night.... motor ran great all day, as I was cranking the motor to run in for the day it just stopped.


I have power to the motor but I didn't have time to do much trouble shooting

I can hear the solenoid clicking but the starter wont kick up. My tilt/trim also will not work. It tries but doesn't have enough juice to make the motor move.

All I have checked so far is the voltage on the battery and the voltage through the cables to the motor, all is good there. I ran out of light and couldn't get into it any further. only thing I have ruled out so far is battery and cable issues.



My question is does anyone have a guess as to what may be wrong or where I should look first tonight?

Thanks
