SX 190 clicks but won't turn over

my 2015 ar190 when you turn the key nothing happends you can only hear -
1 click then the cluster moves and the panel lights up shows the hours and the gas no error brand new bateries on it any advices of what this could be ?
How long was the boat out of use before the issue started? check to be sure the pump is not locked up preventing the engine from turning over, also check the main ground wires to the engine and try jumping the starter to see if it turns over with a direct connection to the positive side of the battery with a jumper cable directly to the main cable on the starter housing. This bypasses the solenoid , if it cranks over doing that you probably have a bad solenoid or a loose or bad connection and check the rear hatch kill switch and the throttle switch making sure it is in neutral

When was the last time you used it???. also do the jumper cable directly to your starter terminal and see if it cranks over if it does then check the solenoid wiring connections and you can also jump it to see if it is working, also check your fuses.
 
used it 3 weeks ago already check yesterday all the fuses they are fine including the fuse in the bateries the solenoid check also put a jumper and still does the one click and the u here the long beep and then the cluster moves till half then continues all the way down keep in mind everything else works including the fan
 
if you jumped a cable to the starter power input and it did not start it is the starter or a bad main ground wire at the engine , un bolt it , clean it and re try

did that still does the same click then cluster moves half way and does the beep i check every power point every ground batery full charge
 
ok then you need to replace the starter if it did not crank when you hot wired it
 
Starter or Solenoid. Check voltage at solenoid and if voltage is good, jump. If it cranks it's the solenoid, if not, might be the starter. If you wack the starter with a large hammer and it cranks, it's very probably the starter.
