it was floodedw/ water, half the hull, i pulled the cylinder head off , cylinders walls seem fine , when i try to turn it over pistons move slightly, but it only clicks, i tryed charging battery, indicator on charger says never fully charged, tried jumping w/ car no luck. could it be battery? starter relay or the crank . Im stumped.thanks for your help>

try turning the motor over by hand first
could have fried the stater relay

how do you turn it over by hand?

grab the coupler and turn the motor over
pull the plugs out also

that happened to me, i had to get a new battery, and once i put that in i just took the spark plugs out and tried to turn it over to get the water out, after all the water was out all that i needed new spark plugs and she worked fine!

thanks

i appreciate your guidance - i put a new battery in - no luck still just a click,tryed to turn motor over by putting screw driver in shaft and turning -no luck crank had to be locked i thought., looked in the rear and noticed a big rock jammed inbetween impellar and exit -impellar would not budge -chissled rock out -runs great,on my way to the lake
