<p>Hello XXXXXXXX, </p><p> Here are some things to check. First, charge the battery and load test it to be sure it is good. Remove the sparkplugs from the engine and reinstall them in the caps then let them lay against the cylinder head. Lay a towel across the top of the engine. Try cranking the engine briefly to see if it turns over and if it does water may shoot out of the sparkplug holes. If the engine turns over and there is no sign of water that is good. It means that your initial assumption about a fuel problem is probably correct. If the engine does not turn over but the solenoid clicks Then the problem could be in the starter, the engine or the jet pump. The jet pump just unbolts and slides off the rear of the boat. With the pump off check that the pump shaft rotates smoothly. If good try rotating the engine by turning the driveshaft. If the engine rotates then the problem is with the starter. That still leaves you with the initial running problem that you are going to have to repair but at least you have determined wether or not the engine is siezed.</p><p> </p><p>If this answer was helpful please click accept and leave positive feedback.
