Try moving the throttle leaver back and forth while turning the key. As I think Capt. Chuck and Hermco stated there's a neutral safety switch in there and if your cable adjustment is out of whack it won't start. I see many boats throughout the season with this problem.

I tried moving the throttle back and forth with no luck. I also tried my connections. I loosened and tightened but still not luck. I "think" I've exhausted the simple things, but one never knows.

Another possibility is a bad ignition switch. Did you try jumping the solinoid?

Good news! I picked up the new starter in Chatham at lunch, installed it when I got home and it turned right over. It took about 4 choked starts, then it ran like a top! Sounds great, no sputtering, nice and steady, itles perfectly. I can't wait to launch it on Saturday and see how it goes!
