I have a 17 FSH190 that won’t start. Both batteries are new and fuses are good. I have accessory power but engine won’t even turn. Kill switch is secure.
Any suggestions, anyone?

I am clearly no expert however you said your batteries were new. Have you been able to start your boat with them before? If not is it possible battery cables are loose?

I replaced the batts on the assumption that they were both dead. All connections are tight but there may be a chance I’ve wired it incorrectly. Thanks!

I would be willing to guess he other comes out of the Virginia Beach area or st Charles as that appears to be the Chesapeake bridge in the background [flag]

You think that's the armor rock for the bridge, rather than for a jetty? That would make sense as well...

I launched from Virginia Beach area. Ran out to 4th island on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Used clams for bait.

Where in the Bay do you come out of and where were you fishing.. I know the post said 10 miles out, but see the jetty wall behind you...
Hopefully I'll see you out there next summer or spring in my 210 FSH. Good fishing!
