Thread: Need a good reputable mechanic Lexington/Asheboro/ High Point / area

Use a set of jumper gables and jump from the positive input lug on the solenoid to the positive lug on the starter, If the starter engages, you have a continuity problem that is either at the solenoid internal contacts, or in the wire connections on the solenoid, or the starter. A bad connection doesn’t necessarily look bad to the eye, clean all connections anyway. A good coat of liquid tape completely covering all connections will help prevent future problems. That goes for all electrical connections on your boat. An ounce of prevention is a good way to a good day of fishing. It’s a long ride back to the ramp with a trolling motor.

Replace the solenoid. You can pick one up at most auto parts stores. Take old one with you. Contacts are burned and wont work even you hear the click when they pull in.
