2005 SX 230 wont start

[KAREN DALLIS]

Took the boat out on the weekend without issue other than need to jump battery prior start. The next weekend tried to start and the battery was dead again and would not take a charge. Bought a new battery and installed. Battery is charged but now neither engine will start. When I turn the key "nothing". Battery says it is fully charged when checked, all accessories run.

@KAREN DALLIS, have a look at this thread

Sounds like a bad connection somewhere. Check both ends of all the battery cables. I suspect a bad ground.

Won't Start... Does the engine move at all?

Where did you get to?

Edit: I see you said nothing happens. Are you sure the battery is OK? If you measure voltage when you try to start, does it stay above 10v?

Most often something wasn't put back in the battery when u hooked it up. There are lots of cables that have to go to the batteries

Yup...either missing a cable...or connected them wrong and blew a fuse.

Or boat not in neutral or clean out hatch open.

And don't forget to check the safety lanyard mount. That can be an issue sometimes.
