Moomba LSV 2008 not starting
I put my Moomba LSV 2008 model on the water 2 weeks ago for the summer and it started fine. I then put it on my lift on the dock for 1 week and when i went to start it again it didn't work, i tried charging the battery and checked the oil level and thats fine. Also i noticed that the bilge pump hadn't been working, and there was water 1/4 of the way up the engine, so i drained it with a manual pump, and now its still not starting.
Does anyone have a check list or can help me troubleshoot my problem?
Thanks.

So, when you say not starting, do you mean that the starter is not engaging at all? Or does it turn over and not fire? How do you know that the battery is good? The battery may not be receiving a charge at all and therefore not allowing anything to work. The other thing is the circuit breaker in front of the observer seat, look for some larger wiring connected to it- it may have tripped for some reason and can be reset.

If you bad water 1/4 of the way up the motor that means you starter was under water and possibly you alternator. I'd definitely have the started bench tested.
Two bolts and two wires easy to get to. Take a pic of the wires so you get them put back correctly. Any auto parts place will test it free for you.

It will be in the left rear locker toward the seat side with a big battery cable and 1 or 2 other small wires coming off of it. Bolts will be on the bottom .

Make sure your throttle is in neutral and try starting...
Double check your battery connections are tight. Try starting...
Make sure your breaker didn't trip. (Under the observer seat) push the red button and see if it clicks. Then reset it by flipping the little black lever back in on the breaker. Try starting...
Next go the engine compartment and make sure the little red reset button is depressed. Should be basically right behind the ski pylon above the transmission. Try starting...
If it still doesn't work have someone turn over the key until you locate the sound of the click, take a pic of that part then get back to us.

Sorry to be the one to say this but maybe you need to seek the help of a professional (or at least someone who is knowledgable about engines/ boats)?...
I realize your boat is on a lift and not easily accessible for a mechanic to get to, but you could be chasing your tail for a while and losing good water time.
There is a certain level of knowledge that is necessary to troubleshoot this sort of thing and it seems like it would be a steep learning slope. I don't mean any offense by my comments, I am mostly concerned with your lack of water time while you sort your way through this.

Nice work! Sorry to be a naysayer and doubt your skills. I seemed to me that it was going to be a bit more involved.
