2.3 Liter OMC sterndrive

So I bought this boat last summer to work on during the “pandemic”. It is a 1988 Four winds 160 Freedom with a 2.3 Liter OMC sterndrive in it. I had it running last summer but when I went to put it in gear it would stall out. I got new cables and new esa switch but didn’t put them in until earlier this month. Also earlier this month I realized the starter was junk. So I switched the starter, ignition module, ignition coil, distributor cap and rotor, and the spark plugs. Now the engine cranks but does not turn over or start. Can someone please give me a little insight into how to go about this POS
 
If you're talking about a module, well the original ignition on a 1988 OMC used points, the only module was for the ESA system which lowers the idle when shifting from in gear to neutral to allow the shift dogs to release.
So someone might have changed the points to a Petronix, but unless you post up pix we have no idea...
