once again.....97 percent of ALL electrical problems are bad connections, im not making that up, I live by those words and pretty much have come to the conclusion that it is 99 percent

Donald, Sounds like you're heading in the correct direction with new battery cables and taking a look at the NSS/shift cable adjustment. If you don't have a meter, you can pick one up for less than $20. Great to have not only for the boat but around the house and car too for checking voltage, continuity, resistance, etc. Get one, set it too resistance, remove one of the white wires from the NSS, touch the terminals with the meters probes and it will tell you exactly when the NSS switch is opening and closing as you move the shift. BTW, Many times diagnosing a problem can be difficult due to poor descriptions. This thread is a prime example. When stating the engine won't start, always define it as not "turning over" or not "cranking". If the engine does turn over but won't "fire" then it's known which direction to go for troubleshooting. |

Pete,
Thanks for the help. I have a Volt Meter, but I really do not feel comfortable working it yet. I have a manual I guess I need to read it. LOL !!! I will set it to resistance and check it out. That was the clue that I needed. I hear people talk about Ohm-ing ( SP?)it out. Thanks, Donald |

Mine just has a handle near the driver's seat to tell it which way to go.
