Took my new mojo out to the lake today and wouldn't even try to start?. Turned off the main power switch then back on and it just clicked when I tried starting it. Not sureif tthere's something simple I'm missing very new to the boat!....and the battery is reading almost 12volts on the dash hope someone can help thanks
Double check throttle is in nuetral, double check lanyard, also there is a circuit breaker breaker in the engine bay. Open the engine hatch and on the lower panel on the port side is a circuit breaker.
Ok now that I got it out of the water will it hurt to try and start it just to see if it will run?
No but if it starts shut it off right away. The engine can run out of the water for a couple minutes no issue but the impeller fir your water intake to cool your engine will burn up in only a minute or two out of the water.
Ok well tried and nothing I turned the main switch off again for about 5 mins and it acted like it was gonna turn over but again it just clicked back in the motor compartment and done nothing Hummm not sure what now
12V is pretty low. If the boat has dual batteries, turn the switch to combine and retry.
Did you take it for a test run before you left the dealership?
Double check all connections at the batteries and all circuit breakers and maybe try and jump it off your truck if you suspect a dead battery.
Well its a 12 volt battery on it.and I don't have the duel ...I had it in the water and no trouble sat all day.....I'll check all my connections again and see
No loose wires anywhere guess I'll just have to take it back to the dealer......was hoping it was something small I was over looking
No troubled on Sat, but no go today? Sounds like the battery might have gotten run down. Maybe something got left turned on like the stereo or blower. Do you have one of those portable jump packs or a charger to throw on the battery?
Yeah I will try that tomorrow and see if that helps before I drag it back to the dealer guess I need to invest in a second battery. ... another question while we are here lol I see you got the mojo as well did you install a sub? If so where
Try a jumper pack to see if it will start. If so you have a bum battery.
im going to say low battery as well, if all your gauges work and all you get is a click when you try to start it id like to say that its low on juice haha..id run two batterys and a charging system on it..i just picked up the promariner pro sport 20 and when i get home after being on the water all i do is plug her in and let the batterys charge, so you know they will be good when you go out again..plus for sub's myself i have 2 10's under the drivers console and that seems like where everyone else is putting theres
A fully charged new lead acid battery will have a static charge of 12.8 or bettery. 12V is 75% depleted.Quote:

Voltage doesn't mean a thing unless the battery is under load. Have the battery load tested at an automotive place.
Thanks for all the help!! And I put my battery on charge this morning and gonna try it again this evening.
Just to give an update charging the battery didn't help at all still not even trying to start so taking it to the shop in the am I'll update y'all when I find out just incase anyone else has this problem
Dang. Thought for sure that was it. Keep us posted.
Got the call today ot was the ECM board went bad says its like the brain of the boat......the guys at premier water sports are taking good care of it ....always good to be able to work with good understanding people !! I'll be back on the water by tomorrow
good to hear it will be taken care in a timely manner..
So it would not turn over
Only clicking starter solenoid sound, like a dead battery
Bad ECM...
Wonder how the average joe could diagnose that..
Glad you're being taken good care of! Sorry to hear about a bum ECM.
Two tale-tale symptoms.Quote:

This may vary by boat, but was true with my XLV when the ECM dumped on me.
I'm gonna say on the mojo the check engine light not lighting up caused mine didn't light up....
