and all relevent checks made.

You Missed Something, SomeWhere...........<br />

All I here is what I presume is the oil primer

There's No Oil Primer...... Fuel Pump, Maybe....<br />

then nothing happens on final turn of key.

Is there Power at the Solenoid at this time ?????<br />

Does boat have to be in water with engine at full lock down?

No.....<br />But,<br /> You'd Better have Flush Muffs on it, Or It'll Burn Up.......<br />

Are there any special starting procedures?<br />

Well,<br />In Your case,<br />A Test Light will Probably tell you Where you're Not getting Power, <br />Where You Need It........ <br /><br />Welcome to iboats, BTW...........
