04 GTX 4tec Limited - won't start - just clicks

[Yoot]

I have 04 GTX 4tec Limited. I tried to start my SeaDoo for the first time of the season, and it just clicks, but it won't turn over. I tried changing the battery, but that made no difference. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Jump the solenoid, see if that makes the starter turn...

Second thought

I did jump the damn thing with my truck and it started, although now it won't start either way.

What does the solenoid look like on the 04 gtx limited?

Could bad gas cause this?

I said, to jump the solenoid, NOT the battery....ok, just hope truck wasnt run'n....
You jumped the battery, and it worked, that tells me your other battery suks, or a connection is loose? Know that your get'n nuth'n, where all the wires go into a box, Check the fuses in that.

Jumping from a running vehicle is a no no ...it surges all the components sometimes before it blows the fuses...check the fuses and the ground cable on the engine than either charge the battery or replace after a load test... It might have a bad cell or 2.

Keep us posted.
