you may have a loose wire on the switch in the starting circut..or maybe blew the fuse on the engine...if it wont crank at all ..

Do you have a test light or volt meter, start at the battery and check the electrical system.
You do have it in neutral don't you?
Do you have a kill switch, is it in the correct position?

shake your shifter,your neutral safty switch may be engaged,and as said check for fuse on top of block.also ,if you have a safty lanyard ,make sure its not activated

what motor we talkin bout here?

check the 20 amp fuse, in an inline fuse holder on a red wire a few inches to the engine side of the main wiring harness plug.

89.6% of all electrical problems on boats are caused by corrosion/loose connections.

remove, clean and reattach all the cables from battery to solenoid to starter. By "remove" I mean "pull everything off a there, don't just eyeball it and call it clean". By "clean" I mean "make it shine"; hint: sandpaper. By "reattach" I mean "Tight! Tight! Tight!"

Emergency kill switch is unrelated to the starter circuit -- if it's engaged the motor will spin like crazy without ever starting.
