My 1985 Skeeter ran fine last fall, but I noticed in Feb when I was going to plug in Minn kota onboard charger that the starting motor side(two battery 10amp system) does not light up at all. Also nothing that runs off the starting battery will work. I wrassled the battery out thinking to replace it and it checked out good 805 cranking amps and 12.8 volts. I pulled the fuse cover and looked at all the larger fuses 10 and 15 amp; all good. I'm not very familiar with this electrical system(1985 evinrude 115hp) so now I'm pretty well stumped! Thanks for any help DJD

Only thing I can think is to check the cables. Maybe some corrosion inside the insulation. Just had this problem on a truck. Terminals looked good but the wire inside the insulation was like dust.
