Catalina 30;A4 won t start off the key
Hi everyone.I have just finished installing my A4 on my Catalina 30 after a tear down this winter.The motor will not start off the key.This is what I have done.
Both batteries are at 12.45. There is hot power to the silinode. Sorry about the spelling It is hot to the coil. The motor DOES start with a remote starter switch. I thought it might be the key switch. It is hot at the switch.Had a new one cause the tumblers sometimes locked on me so I installed it also. I removed the entire wire harness and have good readings on it, or the middle long harness. I have no clue what to do other than running a bypass from the harness. The only thing I found unusual was my blower was not working. It always had before.And I did notice that it has a jump wire from the ignition switch to make it hot. Anyone seen this problem before.Im at a loss as to whats going on. And electrical is my weakness of all the trades. Thanks for reading.

You've isolated the problem to the single start wire circuit, identified as a white #10 wire on a standard harness (not a guaranty on your particular boat). That's a good thing. The possible problems are:

We love idiot stories. Please tell us what happened so we can hopefully avoid doing it ourselves.
