    My 97 Merc i/o 135hp died on me when I was on the lake the other night. I have not been able to get it started since with a fresh battery it just clicks everytime I turn the key.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Thanks Yipster, I replaced the entire starter last night and that did the trick...
