Anybody got experience with boat engines?

I’m going to have a look at why the engine won’t start for a family member up at Edinburgh.
Just want to know what to look for

I’ve been told it turns over, but doesn’t start

Owner knows there’s a number of battery’s, but don’t know if 12/24 volt or the Ah size.

The batterys should charge up when the 230v is plugged into the hookup. (Would that be separate leisure batterys, and the engine start battery would charge from an alternator while the engine is running, like a car?)

If we can pinpoint what the fault is, ie battery, or charger…. Then we have a chance of fixing it.
