Default Engine won't start, starter..... ?

Trying to figures this out, Left the key 'ON' overnight last weekend and now my starboard engine won't start. Spent all day swapping distributor caps, bought new coil, cleaning spark plugs, checking for spark at the cylinder, getting fuel yes, so on and so forth ! Im stumped along with a few others! I know someone else has done this, just thought I would ask the professionals, thanks for any ideas ! Its the Fountain, by the way.

I have a master switch for port, starboard, and the hatch in the cabin, once my wife bumped it when she put somethign int he cabin when we were coved out... I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why one motor wouldn't start. SOmetimes its somethign really obvious.

if my kill switch is tripped, the engine will crank but no fire.

make sure the purple wire to the engine has power (ignition circuit)
