[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 178869, member: 1776"] I'd go with you're just not getting enough juice to the starter. It does turn over, so it answered your question on that right? But unless you are powering everything else it will not start with the power only to the starter. Since it turns over, you might be in good shape. Tilt/trim is nice, but not a necessity. And craigslist might have tile/trim for a decent price - I know I've seen them for $200ish Skegs... well, my dad ran one for a long time with it broken off like yours. All it does is protect the prop, and provide a tiny bit of rudder action. [/QUOTE]
