Did it ever run for you?
I have no experience with that type of vessel but it is the internet so here goes...
If you never saw it run it may be disabled due to incorrect work from your predecessor.
There are two different ways of wiring a kill switch and they depend on the wiring to the ignition.
The first and easiest way is a switch that grounds the ignition primary.
On this one the switch stays open via the lanyard and springs closed in its absence thus grounding out the ignition.
If your boat has this you need only pull and isolate the wires off the back of the switch and hopefully she runs.
The other way is the switch carries current when the lanyard is in place and opens the circuit when the lanyard clip is absent.
When you say that "nothing" happens when you turn the key I assume that you mean that the starter dies not turn.
That sounds like it is the second style of kill switch on your boat.
The reason why I explain all this is that a kill switch my have terminals appropriate to both of the types mentioned and if connected wrong, could do nothing.
Find a wiring diagram and see if your switch is a correct one and if it is connected properly.
