    Won't Start!!!

    Just got my boat back after having my linkage replaced and carbs all cleaned out (mishap on Mississippi River). Took the boat to the river, it started, ran a couple miles and when I came off plane by the docks the motor sneezed and quit. It wouldn't and still won't start now. It just clicks when I turn the key back and forth. Fully charged, 3 month old battery. All accessories work just fine.

    Motor: 1989 Mercury 150 XR4 Serial #: 0C137920

    HELP???!!!!

    Found out the issue, mechanic never tightened two ground wire bolts to the starter with a wrench. They worked themselves loose. Motor starts again.
