Engines started normally, pumped out and added fuel and went to start engines. STBD engine wouldn't start, but starter relay on wall clicked, but starter solenoid did not. After looking at it for 5 minutes, I decided to manually start it by connecting the starter solenoid (on starter) to power, and it started right up. Went ahead with the cruise and back to dock. Naturally, the engine still does not start by the button. I will check the connections, but I suspect it is the relay on the wall. Does anyone have the part number for these relays? I will go ahead and replace both and keep the one good one as a spare.

Re: Starter Relay
Try Sam's before anyone else. Even if they don't stock it, they are likely to know what it is.

Actually, there is a picture of the relay in that post. I searched Sams for "Relay", didn't see anything for the starter. I'll call them tomorrow.Prometheus

Re: Starter Relay
I didn't physically check the fuse. I assume it was ok because I could hear the relay click when we pushed the button on the helm, and the symptom last time was that the relay didn't even click when the fuse was blown. That seemed to leave the starter solenoid as the culprit. After opening the side panel in the hallway, I thought I would try hot wiring it, and it started. So, it seems that the starter solenoid is ok, as well as the starter. I will try to jump it at the relay. I didn't do that this time, because I thought the problem was after the relay at first (since it was clicking).
