i accidentally reversed the polarity and tried to start the boat. now if I attach a jump box the motor runs perfectly but will stall as soon as i detach it. should I assume i fried the alternator or is there something else i should be checking?

Voltage regulator, rectifier, alternator. Not sure of the setup on your motor but reversed battery connections WILL fry them all.
