Assuming it is fuel injected in 2003, most likely is low or zero fuel pressure.  The engine needs Air Fuel and Spark to run so work down the list.  A fuel pressure gauge is a nice tool to have to verify fuel pressure.
Checking spark is easy, pull one wire and hook it to a grounded spark plug and see if it sparks when you turn the engine over.

From another thread, here's talk and a picture about checking the fuel pressure:

Start with verifying your fuel pressure while it is running.  Leave the gauge hooked up and run the boat, if it dies again check your pressure while it is dead.  Cycle your key on and off which should activate your fuel pumps with each time the key is turned on, it will only power the pumps for three seconds with each turn of the key if the engine does not start.  Pressure should be around 40 psi.

Thank you! I have a fuel injection pump test kit; do I test at the relief valve / test point on the FCC body? Allen screw?




Here's a picture from a recent thread showing where the schraeder valve is

Since you have a gauge, now you can check pressure when it won't start  then you'll maybe know where to throw money next instead of guessing. Wink

The only way you should pay any attention at all to this picture in the quote above is if you have a gt40 and the last year of those was 2002 

More info would be a good thing  Wink
