It's what's called a servo on the motor. It's like a gate that lets electricity flow to the starter. If all you hear is a click, then either:

A) the battery does not have enough "juice" to turn the starter or

B) the starter will not turn.

Try another battery or charge that one.....and make sure it's in neutral.

Can you start a 9.9 hp mercury while in gear?

The 9.9 hp Mercury outboard was designed with start in gear protection. The manual start model is equipped with a lock-out, preventing use of the pull rope. The electric start model utilizes a micro switch, which breaks the start circuit at the solenoid. As with anything mechanical, adjustment is needed periodically, and in some cases, these safety mechanisms may have been disabled by someone.
