Not knowing anything about fixing a boat maybe somebody could possibly help us out. We have a 20ft pontoon and were out fishing with everything running fine. After a drift I turned the key and the engine just about starts but doesn't. I turn the key again and nothing happens. It was dead. The lights and electronics on the boat still work. I did notice that when you push button on the throttle that lifts the motor out of the water it no longer works either. Could anybody give me any ideas where to start?

Check the voltage on your batteries.

I didn't have anything to check it with. I took it home and placed it on the charger overnight and the charger says it was fully charged. It didn't make any difference though when I put it back on the boat. Can a battery die that quickly or be partially dead? Like I was saying, everything else (lights, electronics) still work fine.
Do the deep cycle batteries that you use for trolling motors have enough juice to use as a starting battery when you're in a pinch?
