I have a 08 Stratos 176xt and love it. I just put a new blue top battery in and hooked up the positive and negative opposite of where they should be and heard a spark.
I re-installed properly but when I turn the start key, there is nothing there.

Does anyone know where the fuse box or where a breaker would be that could be
the problem. I do not have a wiring diagram with the boat.
Thanks

You don't say what motor but most of them have a fuse under the cowling that you blew. After you replace it be sure to check your charging circuit as you may have damaged it too.

Just wanted to thank you for this advice. It helped me troubleshoot my electircal problem and get back on the water.

Thanks again.
