Hi all. This group has helped in the past, so hoping you will again!! I live in Maryland and prior to dropping my boat in the water this Spring, wanted to ensure everything was working properly. I've kept the (new) batteries on trickle-charge over the winter, but now it won't start. When I turn the key, the dashboard comes up, all the gauges and horn work, and the throttle is in neutral. However, neither jet will start - nothing happens, no noise or indication that it's even trying to turn-over. I've removed and reconnected the kill switch as well, just in case that may be the issue. Any thoughts/recommendations?

Check and optionally replace the relays in the fuse box by the battery. It's a likely problem based on your description.

Thanks. Though I'm not really sure how to check or what I'm looking for, but will perhaps it will become obvious. Will circle back if any follow-ups. Thanks again.

Two relays in that fuse box. They are obvious. Black little boxes. The easiest thing to do is to buy replacements. Many brands work and they are cheap. I recommend keeping spares onboard as well. Alternatively, YouTube how to test relays. But if you don't have that expertise or tools, just blanket replace them.

Got it, thanks so much for the quick response!
