I have a bass tracker 2002 Pro Team 165 with a 50 HP Mercury motor. Phenomenal boat. Fished this past weekend and boat would not start when I went to return home. Nothing, no turn over of ignition, couldn't start by pulling manual cord either. Also couldn't raise the motor once I got it back to my trailer. I checked 20 amp fuses at battery, in motor and at the fuse box and all look good. Any other suggestions - possibly starter?

you have one of two problemsyour starter brushes are sticking or your solenoid is going bad next timme it happens take a hammer and lightly tap the starter if it turns over your starter is going bad if you try this repeatly and nothing then you have a bad solenoid they are not expensive if you do not want to tap the starter then just replace the solenoid the best way to find it is follow your main battery line to motor where it stops and breaks with two posts and then the hot goes to the sarter take a picture of it so if you need to take it with you u acn see where the wires go oriellys probally will have it is round and you battery will go to one post and the hot to the starter will go to the other there will be to little posts on it as well one to the key switch and the other is a groud

get some starting fluid and spray a liberal amount into the air intake, then try to turn over. if it will not turn over with starting fluid you have a problem either with your ignition system, example: plugs, coils, wires, ect. If it does fire and then die out with a shot of starting fluid then you have a carb problem. If the boat has been sitting anything over a month thats where I'm betting the problem is. Post back after you find out if its a fuel, or fire issue and we'll start the repair process.
SOURCE: Bass tracker fuse descriptions
I was trained at a tracker dealership and that is one of their faults. The best way to find the fuse for the bilge pump is to look on the back of the bilge switch and trace a wire to the fuse panel. Most of the time they are color coordinated so you can match fairly easy without trying to manually probe for the wire.
SOURCE: alarm/buzzer going off without shutting off
that could be the engine fault alarm, if its a Mercury that indicates high engine temp, low oil pressure (4stroke) low oil level (2 stroke and 4 stroke) Either way, dont ignore it, it will get expensive. this information is similar for Yamahas as well
