Default boat batteries

Hi, Tilt and trim works. nothing else. I can't reach the starter
solenoid because the red wire goes under the engine on the other side.
can't see where it goes. I tryed connecting the red wire to the
circuit breaker switch with no luck. I either have the wrong batteries
Sears 12v car batteries or I blew something when I connected to the
wrong terminals. thats my opinion. I even tryed to connect the red
lead to the alternator again no luck getting a reading. There are 3
fuses that are on top of the engine with red wires going to it. My guy
thought those fuses were blown. of course their not. this is getting
very frustrating. kill switch is on. all black leads are hooked up
the the battery. The only fuse that did blow is the bildge pump fuse
that runs directly off the battery. The radio timer fuse that also
runs directly off the battery was not blown. I replaced the fuse. I'm
going to buy a gun. first use it on my boat then on me.
