Starting problems with the 200hp Yamaha

[spareparts]

Replace both battery cables, the Yamaha cables are made out of fine wire, they work real good for a while, but over the years of use, the wire breaks internally. You may find a place in it that was compromised and allowed water to enter the cables, they turn green and corrode up pretty quick. I see this all the time on older Yamaha engines. Run some new #4 cable(#2 if its a long run) with good cable ends and you'll be ahead of the game

It was a bad ground running from the #1 battery. It was running to a terminal board that sends power out to bilge pumps and some other various stuff. The connection had gotten corroded at the terminal. While searching for it I just removed cables of the negative posts. As soon as I removed that cable all was well. Cleaned it up and its good to go.

I got a 94 21' Proline Cuddy.

Thanks for the help guys.
