Default wont start

Hello everyone.

Im new to Mariahs but have enjoyed mine last summer. I sent it in to be winterized and stored over the winter and just picked it up to clean up and service this weekend.

18' barchetta

It wont start. It has fuel and the engine cranks but wont start (or even try).

I have checked the ignition and its fine, but no juice at the coil...

its in neutral.

any suggestions for the new guy.

Thanks,

    I didnt know where to post this so I figured I would do it on this subject Im new to this web page. Recently this weekend my dad and I tried taking our boat down to the lake for the first time this summer backed it in the water and nothing wouldnt start. We go a new battery that put it in still nothing. Then at the Marina they told it it was either the solenoid or the starter well we replaced the one solenoid on the right side thats away from the engine by itself still nothing. then we took the starter out and had that tested well that was good also so we reinstalled the starter. Then after all that we re did the battery connections tried it and it still just clicked. Then i did more research on here and someone stated that theres two solenoids the one we replaced and then the one on top of the motor head. So we took that off and got a new one and replaced it and finally the boat turned over. So my question is why does the boat have two starting solenoids I was just curious. Thanks.
