Just come back with a little info - boat/yr, is A4 early model or late model [oil fill in back or front], electronic ignition or points? Our harbor here in Chicago has winter boat storage in the harbor parking lot for those that wish for the convenience. Every spring a few A4's "mysteriously" don"t start once boat is towed to the slip. Most of the time this is solved in minutes using a "points file", cleaning mild corrosion/ electrical contacts or a squirt of starting fluid. You need as the old adage says good fuel, compression & spark. I'd be surprised if you did not have enough compression to start.
