New marine battery???
Deep cycle???
Don't use a deep cycle.
They will work but your charging system isn't designed to charge them.
Can cause problems after a while.
Spinning starter: battery hooked up backwards?? (been done a lot)(my very first boat )
The Bendix on the top of the starter might need grease?
Lift it up and clean the screw threads with a wire brush.
Then lightly grease the threads.
Too much grease/oil can cause the rubber in the Bendix to fail.
I might have a rectifier?? let me look.
Send me a pm with your address.
Now that it's running? clean the carbs, clean the recirculation system.
Then a can of starting fluid, while running, spray around the intake side of the motor.
If the spray makes any difference then it 's sucking air and needs to be resealed.
