DF60 Undiagnosed Startup Issue

I have a 2019 DF60 that's around 100hrs (hasn't hit the 100hr mark yet). Just tried to start it up and all lights turn on and the needle lifts to near 1000RPM when I turn the ignition to on (expected). Nothing is indicated after turning the key on.

When turning the key to start, all of the indicator lights turn on and the starter "clicks" 4 times if I hold the key in the start position. Otherwise it clicks once and gives up. Doesn't turn over.

Yes, the throttle is in neutral, there's plenty of gas in the line/the bulb is primed, the emergency shutoff key is in place...

Any ideas? The manual doesn't cover "all lights on at once."
 
Have you checked your batteries?

Yeah it ended up being the battery. The manual said that if the battery was under 12V that it wouldn't even try to start, but maybe there was just enough juice to trick it to try? Either way, a quick jump with my portable jumper did the trick. I've since sold the boat and upgraded to a 2000 Parker 23DVCC with a 2000 Yamaha 250.
