Yes, I first checked to ensure throttle was in neutral, checked the battery connections and put it on a charger. Following day checked power output. Both connects were solid, have been using nut with star washers to ensure a great connection with no slip. Pulled all the fuses on the power unit and checked the relay for the starter and power trim. Both were good. Checked power from the battery to the starter solenoid and had 12volts. Checked the two smaller leads on the solenoid and they were bad. Jumped power from the input lead to the output lead and the motor turned over. So at this point it appears the starter solenoid is bad. I’ll update the post after I get the new one installed.
