boat engine cover plate

My car does not start, only makes clicking noise, starter and battery are brand new?

i was driving on the highway when the car suddenly lost power , i kept pressing gas but it wont go , the engine was making a clicking and rattlin noise when engine was running, the engine is not gone , i checked , i flushed the motor, installed new oil
