Ernest, I have a question. I always keep a tender on my battery and it goes to storage mode which means it is completely charged. Also, I put a voltage meter to it and it says I have 12.3 volts. Ski unlocks, lights come on like normal but it wont start. I get the clicking sound like the battery is dead but it isn't. I am assuming it is the starter? So, question is: Can the battery be giving off 12.3 volts of juice but still not start it somehow? I didnt check the water level but you mentioned; but, if the water leverl was low, the batter would not have 12 volts right?? Thanks for any help you can provide...
