    Hi team,

    Back in with a 701 superjet that has a full battery but the cranking is slow.

    I've turned the motor by hand, battery leads get really hot.

    Any wisdom?

    you have a hi resistance some were in starting circuit. check cable ends for corrosion.
    Check cable lugs for corrosion. It could also be starter solenoid in e box or a stuffed starter.

    Thanks Flan,

    I'm on holiday so have sent it to Marine North in Whangarei. They can worry about it while I eat and drink.

    Whananaki based if anyone is close for a ride when its fixed.

    Still getting my legs as I haven't been on one on over ten years.
