Anyone how many cranking amps I need for a 225hp 1994 Johnson? Starter doesnt engage, pulled it apart, seems to function properly. Wondering if I am not getting enough of battery to the starter to engage the flywheel. Just put in a new Optima Blue top, figured that would be enough. Its charged up too. Thanks ahead of time.

sounds like a bad cylonoid or wires from ignition switch cause i am running the same battery on a 1992 evinrude 200 and it has plenty of power to turn the motor over

You are suffering from a voltage drop issue.
You are looking for a bad connection on the main battery wires between battery and engine.

Also wiggle the cables. Do you hear a crunching sound?

I had a boat here with a 3yr old cable. It was a 2ga cable [Pacer brand Marine cable] I use it all the time and it's no different than Anchor brand cable.

It had shrink tubing with the glue in it, but looked like it was dragged behind a truck.
The problem was plain copper ends. [No tinning :(] The cooper had corroded and pushed the shrink tubing out of the way allow moisture to get to inside and the cable was pure junk.

I cut the shrink tubing off 1st. Then I skinned the insulation back to get a better look.
