its trying just not turning over.
Just not turning over or turning slowly means that the starter motor is not "Cranking" the motor over or turning slow.
Lack of power to the starter is the cause. Not lack of fuel.
If it turns over slowly, then that must be fixed first.
Now there has been in the past and recently also confusion as to terminology.
So what is it doing?

my boat has not been started in couple months
I let my Scout for 6months at a time. It has a C-90 Yamaha 2 stroke on it. I always add Stabil to it, as I never know how long it will be sitting.
The main thing with this motor is pumping the ball to get the carbs full. Th ball is close to the motor and I can hear the rush of fuel into the carbs.
With a hot battery it fires right up. It will run a little sluggish for 30sec and then clear right up.
My point is that there may be nothing wrong with the carbs.
You have to get the motor spinning over / turning over / cranking at the correct speed to start first.
