Getting right to it...ski sits outside but double covered through winter
1) Put freshly charged battery into ski this past Sunday (small compartment, big hands, PITA)
2) press SS button ONCE...get WELCOME message on display...ski has electric power
3) Install key....ski chirps twice, key is recognized
4) Press SS button......get absolutely nothing from the engine, no clicks.....dead silence
5) Display then shows ....Maintenance Required and a long beep
Thoughts????
1) Jumped solenoid posts....sparks but nothing from starter motor....
2) suspect DEAD starter motor?....last season ski had water in hull for periods until fixed properly...water infiltration into starter motor??? Corrosion on electric contacts
ALSO:
1) noticed coolant tank is empty....have read/seen posts regarding water pump gasket potentially bad? IDK.....will need to pull top deck and dig around in there
2) will change OIL while deck is off
Any other ideas, thoughts???? Let's hear'em. Thanks
