I was leaving out the marina sat. morning and I notice one of my motors was not peeing .I turned around came back to the marina and tied up to check it out .Both motors were running before I loaded the boat .The motor that was not peeing had debris in the pee hole. So off again .I started the starboard engine no problem .Went to start the port engine which was running fine before and now there is nothing. Completly dead .So I had them remove my boat to a work station and I started checking out the systems.Batteries had a full charge .Cleaned connection tightened -nothing- Had power at the motor ,no fuses blow at motor .No power on trim button at console.Turn key to the  on postion,trim indicator pin would flutter and then go to top of trim indication.If you bypass all switches and start  at motor it will start. By the way I have a 2006 24 ss with twin 150 hp suzuki's.Seems like a short somewhere. Or is there a fuses blow some where.Help! Cry

post this over at THT "the hull truths" outboard section if you dont find cause.
check all electrical connections battery, engine harness, dash harness, start switch etc. more likely bad Ground connection, open circuit or loose than short .
shorts often blow fuses/ trip breakers.
shake all wires a bit.
BTW loose and corroded battery cables are big problem area.
also with twins its easy to switch parts from side to side to diagnose.
for example, disconnect working ign switch, connect no start engine to working engines ignition switch, try and start from other switch.
if it starts , buy a switch.

Sounds like your ignition switch may have gone out. They can go that quick and that why I never cut off my boat when I'm way off shore.

The "pegging" of the trim gauge says you have a ground issue in the engine harness...
