Hi and to the forum. Check out this thread. This is probably what's happening.

Dean! Thanks for the reply! I'm going to check this out ASAP! Thanks again!

Exactly as the link from DeanP, either your relays or starter solenoid.

Good afternoon Dean, So I went ahead and swapped the relays and nothing. I then decided to bypass the solenoid and got one of the engines to start. Guessing it's a bad solenoid. My question is, how do you get both engines to turn over? I went from the battery to the two wires labeled Port and starboard on the solenoid but only my port side engine turned over which is closest to the solenoid. Any idea where I can find info as to what solenoid model I need to pick up? Any and all help is appreciated!

Sorry, I do not. I know the relays tend to go bad (don't understand how but they do). It's always good to keep spares onboard. @ScarabMike is really good with jetboats (he had a Scarab - hence his name). He can help debug this.

I would still check the basics;
Lanyard clipped in
Batteries are strong
Relays are good (check)
No "other" fuses blown
Start switches are good
"Wiggle" all wires trying to locate loose connections
Starter ok?
Strange noises (when starting)
Gas quality?
Spark plugs

Wish I could help more...
