Dumb question.......but is your gear shifter perfectly in Neutral?
If the neutral safety switch is tripped a bit it makes the engine appear dead, non-responsive, no crank. I've been guilty of this....even to point where I get pissed and start checking fuses, relays, etc. only to find out the shifter was bumped against the switch. I have a habit of jiggling/re-centering the shift sticks every time before starting now. With my old boat that had aftermarket ECU, I got used to not worrying about it because switch was disabled, when I went back to Merc/MEFI ecu's on new boat, sure enough the neutral safety switch pissed me off at the launch ramp when one motor wouldn't fire and acted completely dead.....

Edit in: don't need to answer above. I get it. Read what you said wrong.

If anyone wants to look at the wiring chart, look at Pg 42 of this .pdf:
