Pretty common to miss a wire when replacing a battery, check for anything you may have missed. Also make sure you didn't hook it up backwards. Make sure all the connections are shiny clean. Get a voltmeter and chech for power at the wiring leading from the wire to the helm, and grounds at the block. Thats just a start if it still doesn't work, let us know. If it does let us know. Welcome to I-boats!

Welcome aboard

Does it crank and not fire, or not turn over?

Did you clean the battery cables and connections?

I/O or OB?

If I/O, how did you winterize?

My brother did hook up one wire backwards but corrected it. The engine was seized up a little bit but we got it loose. The starter acts like it's engaging but it still won't turn the motor over.

Remove the sparkplugs, see if it cranks. Also squirt a tad of oil in the plug holes. By the way, what motor? And a little history of how it was stored and serviced in the past. Was it winterized before storage?

If you hooked up the battery backwards, you probably blew a fuse and that's why it won't work. Seized is yet another problem.

Think you need to take the plugs out, if all electrical things seem good.
