2012 Mojo 2.5 Won't Turn Over
Hi all!
Bought our Mojo 2.5 a few months ago and things had been running smoothly until this last weekend. Boat always cranked and started immediately with no noticeable issues, until Saturday. Turning the ignition switch to on will still turn on all accessories and you can hear the fuel pump priming, but when you go to start literally nothing happens.
Things I've checked:
Batteries are still working fine. (I think)
Ignition circuit breaker behind the dash isn't blown.
The safety lanyard is installed correctly.
Wiggling the throttle doesn't appear to do anything, so hopefully it's not the neutral safety switch.
Does anyone have any troubleshooting steps for dummies I can attempt before I get in the long waiting line at a local shop to get it looked at? I don't think I'll be able to hotwire the boat to check the ignition switch as it has a single plug that plugs in to the back of the switch with no open wires to cross. I've got a multimeter, minimal experience working on anything more complicated than a motorcycle, and a lot of free time. So hopefully I can figure this out.
Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you jumped the starter correctly, There are 2 wires that come into the starter, a hot (big cable) and a signal wire. A screwdriver across those 2 or a wire should spin it.
If not, tap the starter with a hammer, firmly a few times and try again. If that works change the starter as it is going to happen again but it will allow you a short reprieve.
In regards to the relays, that is what I would look into next. Simple to swap around and see if there is a change.
On my boat the relays are on this metal plate on the back of the motor, if you are a v drive they could be on the front maybe.
