Welcome to iboats, remove spark plugs and try. if it will not turn then, drop the lower unit. this will decide if it is the engine or lower unit that is siezed.

Were you having problems starting the outboard before making a change to the wiring? Would the starter not engage and turn the flywheel?

I found my trouble with the start. My fuse was dirty. But at the time in the middle of the lake I had to start it with the screw divers. since than at home with the bunny ears on my starter will go to the flyweel but not turn it. I replaced the starter and test the battery. What next. Thank you,.

For one thing please do not post the same problem in two places.

Can you turn the flywheel by hand with the spark plugs out?
