Hey gents,
I winterized my boat back in January, wife and I went to take it out this past weekend and the boat wont start. It doesn't even crank like its getting any power. I threw the batter on charge, although it was showing about 75%, and tried again later. Same thing, the trim wouldn't even work. Is there something I can check to see if its not the battery? Its a 2011 60hp EFI Mercury if that helps. Local shop is running 6 weeks out.

tilt and trim not working ?
how about lights ?
do you have a volt meter or test light ?
how old is that battery?
people mean lots of things when they say winterized the boat here that means taking the battery out and placing it on a block of wood on basement floor and connecting a battery maintainer to it as one step of winterizing.
do you have a set of jumper cables ?
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
