STARTER
Starter Quick Test
To easily bypass the starter solenoid and the start
control circuits, proceed as follows.
– Use a fully charged 12 V battery with a capacity
of at least 30 A-h. Use an external battery to
prevent connection sparks in hull.
– Use a set of booster cables to power the
starter.
This procedure tests the following:
– electric starter
– starter power cable
– battery to engine ground cable.
WARNING
Fuel, oil, or electrolyte vapors are flammable
and may become explosive if certain con-
ditions are met. These vapors may collect
near the bottom of the hull when present. All
types of ignition including electrical sparks
are to be avoided when maintaining or test-
ing vehicle.
WARNING
Always use an external battery for this test.
Always connect the BLACK booster cable clip
last to the external battery negative (-) termi-
nal. Do not short starter solenoid contacts
across the main power connections on the
relay with a tool which would cause a spark.
Failure to follow this procedure may result in
an explosion.
WARNING
Always wear safety glasses when working
with or around batteries.
Connect booster cables in this strict order:
RED booster cable:
Connect one clip to the starter post on the starter
solenoid.
Connect the other clip to the positive (+) terminal
on the external battery.
BLACK booster cable:
Connect one clip to the negative (-) battery termi-
nal in the vehicle.
Momentarily apply the second clip to the negative
(-) terminal of the external battery.

nnect cable to external battery negative post
Step 4: Make a momentary contact
If engine does not crank (or slowly cranks), check
the following:
– Booster c
able connections
– Vehicle battery ground cable connections to en-
gine
– Starter power cable/connections from solenoid
to starter.
If the above items all test good, replace the
starter.
