Hi Folks!

Here's an update. Hopefully it's helpful.

I was able to start the motor. Turns out it was a "rookie" mistake on my part. The positive battery leads were all corroded, causing a short. I cleaned them thoroughly, removing all the corrosion, and replaced the old wingnuts with regular nuts and washers.

She turned over just fine.

Thanks! I'll be coming back more frequently now the boat is running. :)
