Default 1985 kawi 550 no wanna start

Okay,,I just inherited a 550 kawi and it hasn't been run in 10 years. Looks like stabilizers were used to store it. I put battery in and charge it up but starter just clicks. Do I need to take off bottomplate and see if I can give a crank!? I am not real familiar with these jet skis so I really could use some help, much appreciated Bill in NY.

Thanks, I'll try that. I got the jet ski from a friend and now have it on ebay as is. I figured if I can at least get it to turn over then I can go from there. Thanks again for the reply, Bill
