I'd add one thing to Dennis' excellent list: get a handful of butt connectors and a good crimper and remove the engine harness connectors completely. They serve no useful purpose.

Likely problem areas, poor connection or connector on the positive wire from the starter switch, poor connection in the harness connector, poor connection or connector at the solenoid. Same for all negative wires. First, make sure you're getting a reliable 12 volts to the input of the ignition switch. If so, I would first replace the connector on the positive wire on the starter switch. Use a marine grade connector and coat both the connection and connector with USS TefGel and re-attach. If that doesn't fix it, test the switch several times with an ohmmeter. It should work immediately each try. If it doesn't replace it. Next, pull the engine harness connector apart, spray it with Boeshield T-9 (not WD-40), push it back together and pull it apart several times. See how that works. If it works, pull it apart, coat the connections with USS TefGel, put it back together and tape the mating surfaces. Next, replace the connector on the positive wire at the solenoid. The above steps have fixed intermittent starter problems on at least two Yanmar powered boats I've worked on. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA From: John Russo <johnrussob...@optonline.net> To: CnC-List@cnc-list.com Sent: Wednesday, August 8, 2012 8:22 AM Subject: Stus-List Starting problems I just developed intermittent electrical starting problems on my 1984 C&C 32 with a 2GMF engine. I assume it is either the starting push button switch or the Solenoid and an off to the boat to investigate and hopefully confirm prior to a one week cruise starting this weekend. The engine control panel is a Type B and I was wondering if anyone knew the make and/ or part #’s of a compatible push button switch and starting Solenoid. Thanks you in advance for any answers/suggestions.
