so i am buying a "new to me" boat... 16ft bass tracker II with a 50 Merc on the back... the boat itself is in semi decent condition. nothing that a little elbow grease and new carpet/seats cant fix! the motor is SPOTLESS!!! inside and out... but it wont start? wont turn over or crank either? all it does is make a click sound at the starter. im hoping that its just a bad starter? but the guy said last time he ran it (last summer) it was running fine and then all of a sudden just died and wouldnt crank over again. that to me doesnt sound like a starter problem. i put the motor in forward gear and the propeller spins with a clicking noise? thought that was weird... put it in reverse and was able to spin the propeller and spin the motor. sounds like it has compression! dont know why that doesnt work in forward? i guess i am asking if anyone knows much about these boats or these motors? im paying a crazy small amount of money for the boat $300...
