Father in law accidentally crossed and connected leads from battery charger to battery that was still connected to motor. It sparked and now motor won't start. What areas should I check to locate problem. Fuses are OK.
THANKS
 
When you power up the engine you should hear the fuel pumps come on for a few seconds. If you hear the pumps come on, Get a spark gap tester and check for spark.

Did you check all the fuses?
 
Found 3 relays all together on starboard side of motor. Identified the tilt/trim relay which worked and used its connection to check other 2 relays. All 3 relays worked on tilt/trim switch. Didn't find a bad one. On to next possibility.
Thanks
