There is a problem with my 2013 Yamaha 212x. The bilge went out not to long ago after the battery was left on. About a week later I try to start the boat and it wouldn’t turn over. Nothing electronically has been working even the horn. Not sure why this is, hoping for some help on this.
 
Dual battery setup? What's the voltage at the battery/batteries?
 
Did you charge the battery after the pump killed it off? Running a lead-acid battery to zero is pretty hard on it - you should consider just buying a new battery.

I did charge the battery to full but it doesn’t seem to go to the boat. I also tested it with a electrical tester. It was fine.

And I had a trickle charger hooked up to it the whole time while it was left on
 
You need to load test your battery. You could have 12+ volts but no amps for cranking. Take it to a local parts store and have them test the battery.
 
They said it was all good and nothing was wrong with it.

Could this wire be my problem?
This connects to the battery for the positive side.

Very good possibility Clean all of the connections up good, reconnect, test and report back. Hopefully that's all it is
 
Carbon steel brush and some Vaseline seems to cure many battery issues. Glad it's working!

THIS!
I've been putting a thin coating of vaseline on battery terminals for years and they continue to look like new, never any corrosion issues.
