I’m new to this engine stuff. I have a 2001 ski senior VP 210 and it’s never given me a problem until yesterday. I launch the boat and went to crank the motor over and I got nothing. The only thing that it does is make the circuit breaker at the top of the engine click and you can fill it when you turn the ignition on. I checked my batteries and have full charge. What could be causing it to not start. Everything in boat works except the motor won’t crank over at all.

For the most part it doesn't matter what boat you have but does matter what motor and drive you have with an motor problem. How about helping us?

In many cases the 50amp breaker is right next to the slave solenoid, if at attached to it on a bracket. When the key is turned to start, the slave solenoid energizes and sends power to the starter solenoid. The clicking your feeling might just be that
