HEllo everyone.

I want to update everyone. I had issues with this engine last year and had the computer sent off the DFI and had it rebuilt. Once I got it back the engine ran great and had no probllems. I winterized the boat in late Nov and I and replacing the carpet. I drug the boat out this past weekend ddue to the temps around 60 degrees so I figured pulling it out and muffing it and letting it run to get it ready for March. So when I pulled it out I turned the key waited for the beep and let the computer run its check. Turned it over and nothing. Went back and pumped the ball made sure was firm and still nothing. I made sure the battery was charged to the max and I just bought the bat last oct so I was getting enough power to crank it. Plugs were cleaned and put back in and still nothing so just wnated to know what my next step would be. Oh the compression was fine before putting it up in Nov. Just checking to see what I need to do to see if it is fuel or electrical and go from there

Were the plugs wet, did you have spark when they were out?

I have not checked the spark yet. Did not want to do nothing to tear thinks up. How do I go and check to see if I am getting a spark. The plugs did not look to "wet".
