On a io the engine will crank, it just will not fire with the safety clip
disengaged. But cranking is somthing just not running..

Now that I think about it, it's the same with an outboard too. It'll crank,
but not start.
It's been awhile since I used my outboard.

Thanks for the correction. I feel for the OP. Hoping he didn't fry
something when he hooked the batteries up backwards. My son did that to his
first car - an '87 Merc. Messed it up pretty bad.

I hear ya, I would think one of the service guys would know what to
check since it was hooked up incorrectly.

From one of his other post it sound like the power trim works, so he is
getting power in the system. I would think he should be able to get
power to the lights and other things. But so far from what I can tell
that is not the case.
