2017 Yamaha AR190, No start just a Click. Need Help

[MorrisonJan]

How it all started…

Batteries were fully drained by a bad sound system set up. Charged them and started up but after a few the batieres weren’t holding up so under warranty I replaced them to be 100% on the water.

Sunday came around, boat fired up over 4 times without a problem but didn’t want to fire up on the water after a few hours.

So I checked batteries and they are fully charged. I checked fuse box and fuses look good.

I noticed when I turn the key the gauges move halfway and pause then finish through, try to fire up and no turn but there’s a click noise.

Made sure I’m on neutral.

Played with the position of the safety landyard
I replaced the solenoid which the clicking noise came from when turning the key.
Have a feeling it could be the starter but also have a feeling it’s something to do with bad contact somewhere.

I had the same issue. Go out in the morning park up at the beach for lunch and an hour later when we wanted to leave it would take a good number of cranks to try start engine again. If we left it for a few more hours or over night it would start up just fine. I think it may have been a grounding wire as ours were very corroded but didn't have long to test this theory as I cleaned it the day before we put it back into storage.

Others have talked about wet spark plugs in the past as well but I don't know much about that.

This is a really frustrating issue as it its hard to replicate and inconsistent and defiantly annoying being stuck.

This might be useful

Boat won't start after sitting a few hours???

Thank you, I’m going to check the ground connection, perhaps cleanup the battery terminals and wires.
