I took 1997 Sea Ray F-16xr2 175 horsepower, owner told me he did not run the boat for two years and it was winterized.
I put new spark plug, new battery, fuel filter, change all lubricants. When I put the boat in water and try to start it is just don't want to start. When I turn the key on it shows there is a power on gauges but nothing is happening with engine. Not even a clicking sound. I have some knowledge about electronics, so I checked solenoid, and starter and they are working. Dose anybody have any suggestions where to start with diagnostic?

I moved your thread to the Mercury forum. Those Sportjets are outboard motors on a jet pump, that just happen to be inside the boat.

Make sure the neutral safety switch is working.

Thank you for moving the thread.
I have found service manual so going thru the repair steps I came to the neutral switch (which probably is not working). But I have problem accessing neutral switch. I just can not take out throttle handle.
