I OWN A YAMAHA 50HP 4-STROKE. IT HAS ALWAYS STARTED FINE. YESTERDAY, AFTER A FULL DAY O DIVING....IT WOULDN'T MAKE ANY NOISE WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. WHEN I SAW THAT THE POWER TILT/TRIM WOULD NOT RESPOND EITHER, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT, BUT FIGURED THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I GOT TOWED IN AND TRAILORED THE BOAT HOME. WHEN RINSING IT, I SAW THE TRIM/TILT WAS WORKING FINE AGAIN. I CLIMBED IN AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE... THE BATTERY CONNECTION/TERMNALS SEEM FINE. PLEASE HEALP WITH ANY INFO.
