Took it in to a mechanic to have the impeller replaced, he tested the compression and said it was fine. He changed the oil in the lower unit. Took it out on the water a few days later and it wouldn't start. It would crank, and continued to, but wouldn't turn over. Tried until the battery died. Any ideas?

Any chance the mechanic got the plug wires crossed after the compression check?

Check to see if you have spark.
