Let me start. I know VERY little about boat mechnics or electonics. Bought two new 725MCA batteries for 89 El Pescador Donzi, 7.4L OMC - Spitfire Ignition system? Before I replaced old batteries, engine turned over but won't start, now nothing. All accecories working fine, blower etc.

I have no clue as to why engine won't turn. Where do i start?

Maby fuse breaker behind carb?

Will the solenoid even click?

Clean new paint off new battery terminals.

Good Luck
Chris

A few suggestions. New battery fully charged ? Double ck. terminal connections at battery .Ck. connection at ground cable on engine.Listen when turning key to start position. DO you hear click at starter. Turn on all acc"s then turn key to start position. Do acc"s seem to slow down? If so contact is being made at starter.Feel it is it getting hot ? Hold in start position for a little bit.If something starts to get hot. This wIll be your poor connection.If nothing ck . with test light for power at starter solenoid
