    Question Motor won’t turn over

    I have a 2019 Mercury 150 pro xs on a 2019 Tracker
    Only 7 1/2 hrs on motor .It hasn’t been started in about 5 months . Tried to start it yesterday and it won’t even turn over. Battery is at full charge and kill switch is up ,
    Any ideas ?
    thanks , Steve

    If you would, please take a moment to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and be sure to provide the Required Info (serial number) when posting. Thanks!

    Has the battery been disconnected for any reason? ALL wires correctly and appropriately attached to the correct terminal of the battery? Control handle in the NEUTRAL position?

    Throw the kill switch a couple times and replace it to run position, also, do you get a tone when turning the key on?

    Need to get dealer to check it with a remote keyswitch harness (quickly determines if problem is in the boat or the engine).
