Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I will share my experience with my 90 yamaha.....it would not start either, and it ended up just being a simple connection. What happened with mine is that it would run fine for a long time, but then when I went to start it again, it would not even turn over the starter...just dead nothing...no click even. Everything else worked fine (gauges, trim motor, aerator, bilge, etc). So....what I did was buy a 12 volt circuit tester, took off the plug wires from the plugs and had my wife turn the key as I tested connections. Ended up being a relay switch that will not allow the motor to start when it is in gear. I just had to clean a contact and away she went.
You may also want to check to see if you have an inline fuse that has blown as well. Mine has a fuse and that was the first thing I checked.
Hopefully you can find the problem without having to take it to a dealer and pay through the nose to find out it was something simple..
Good luck
