No start, just clicks....

[mikesconcours]

Hi all, I recently purchased a 1996 challenger, put it in the water yesterday, it turned over for like 5 seconds then stopped and wouldnt start. I have charged the battery and had it tested and it is good. I hear a click when i press the start button, it is coming from the engine compartment maybe that electrical box? I am going to check the starter connections tomorrow, any suggestions?

Check all all your cables an grounds. How old is the batt? Even if it tested good it could have dead cell and not start the boat if all the cables and grounds are good, along with a strong batt, then you may need to start diagnosing the starter, or relay, or the switch. Check this thread out on the switch.
