Engine won't start

Owner of a 2005 Rinker 342 Fiesta Vee, two 350 Mercury engines. when I turn on the ignition switches nothing happen. Engines will not start. I checked the two battery switch which seems to be okay. Looked at all fuse button, checked battery cables. Before this issue happen, I drove my boat to a cleaning station to have barnacles removed, turned off the engines, tried to restart and get no response - NOTHING is HAPPEN!!!! Please help!

    Did you check the breaker on the engines?  It's a red button mounted on top of the engine..starboard side I think.  It's a red button can't miss it.

    Strange that neither engine will crank though.

    If your shifters are out of position, engines will not start.

    okay/thanks, I will check all recommendations. Question-where is a kill switch located on a 2005 Rinker 342 boat?

    There's no kill switch on a 342.  Make sure all battery switches are on (the panel in the cockpit near the transom door).

    When you turn the keys on, you should hear a single loud beep at the helm, and the voltage gauges at the helm should show 12 volts.  If not, there is no battery power coming to the engines.

    There’s a 5 amp fuse on each engine also. When I replaced my dash panels the starboard side blew and my Starboard engine wouldn’t do anything.
