Not sure what you did wrong but maybe this might help. The solenoid is basically a light switch with a electo magnet that energizes when the key is turned on and closes the connection. If your starter comes on as soon as the battery is hooked up I would be checking to see if you don't have the wire for the key hooked up to the battery and visa versa. Only so many combos those wire can run.
Hooking up 2 batteries (IN SERIES) will give you 24 volts. First make sure the 2 batteries are exactly the same. Do not use mismatched batteries. Hook the POSITIVE of first battery to the NEGATIVE of the second battery. Then hook your LEADS ( hot and ground) to the 2 remaining posts. That will give you 24 volts. When charging the batteries with a charger, hook the charger up to the LEAD POSTS.
We have the exact same problem with our eclipse. Went out and bought a brand new battery and still it will not turn over?? Have you found out what was wrong with your boat?
Cut the battery wires where they hook up to the machine. When cut they might need some more wire spliced to them. Get some alligator clips to put on your red and black wires to hook right to your boat battery. When not in use on the boat get a small 12 volt battery, cheaper then two 6 volt disposables.
Hook up a differant bank and see if it says charged, check volts of battery must read 12.6 volts to be fully charged. If it dont bad battery

This is a common problem if the GPS is hooked up to an electronic heading sensor such as an autopilot. If the heading sensor is not calibrated properly, the boat will appear to be facing the wrong direction.
If you have an autopilot, consult the installation guide and perform the sea trial procedures. That should get your boat lined up properly.
