I have some more data on my engine issues.  I tried to start it yesterday at the slip from battery alone and could not get it to start although it turned over just fine. I plugged into shore power and got it to start after several tries and at that point I realized that it was in gear (the transmission lever is sticky so it is hard to tell neutral from either gear). However, I was never able to get it to start with glow plug held in while starting.  There was no response when I tried this whether on shore power or battery.  It started up fine from battery several times in the course of the afternoon.  However, after one of those starts, I noticed the GPS was restarting.  Apparently the draw from the starter had caused it to shut off.  I plan to measure the battery voltage next time I am down there as the boat will now have been sitting off shore power for a few days, so I should be able to get an accurate reading.  I plan to eventually take off the engine panel and try to clean the starter and glow plug contacts.  Anything else I should be looking at?  Thanks- Dave
