If the boat has a blower for the engine compartment, TURN IT ON for several seconds before starting the engine(s), to clear out any fuel fumes that might have accumulated.
Usally that is an indication that the valve seals need replaced.
If the cat was totally blocked, the engine may start and run briefly for a few seconds. If the cat was partially blocked the engine would run but lack serious power.
Change your oil, then run the car BRIEFLY (about 30 seconds), then change oil and oil filter again. Good luck.
Don't know whether my experience is "normal", but just replaced my serpentine belt on my 2006 Civic at about 59,000 miles. Started hearing some screeching for a few seconds on starting the engine when the weather was wet.

Squirt some carb cleaner or a little starting fluid down into the throttle body then try to start the engine. If the engine attempts to run briefly you probably have a fuel delivery problem.
From 2000 to 2004 they all had a belt that must be replaced at 120,000 miles. The DOHC engine is an interference engine. The SOHC engine is not. Starting in 2005 they have a chain.
The light should be on before starting, and for 3 seconds after starting, as a bulb check.
my 1999 dodge ram knocks when starting lasts 4 or 5 seconds then stops.
Turn key to "on" position without starting engine for about 5 seconds Do this twice
Go back to the basics, fuel, ignition and compression. Check fuel by spraying a small amount of starting fluid into the throttle body while attempting to start the engine. If it briefly starts with the starting fluid, you PROBABLY have a fuel delivery problem. If nothing happens with the starting fluid, check for ignition. Pull one spark plug wire, plug it in to a spare sparkplug and set the plug on a metal part of the engine and attempt to start the engine again. If you have a good, bright spark, run a compression check.
