Choke engages and clicks then the start does not engage the fly wheel and just free spins

Battery is too low. Starter drive pops up only if starter spins spins up fast & furious.

Okay sounds good. Ive had some battery issues. Put two brand new Marine deep cycle batteries in the back. One connected to motor, one for accessories ie bilge, live well, etc. I keep a trickle starter on the battery but after a couple cranks it really sucks the battery

Load test the battery.-----Take starter apart for inspection and ohm test on armature.
