Another possibility...the starter itself may be drawing  way to much power. 
This can be due to a variety of factors including badly worn  brushes, 
internal corrosion, bad solenoid....
 
Another possibility that occurred on my C&C was bad  internal corrosion 
where the battery connectors attach to the battery cables.  The corrosion was 
hard to spot, but evident when we cut away the vinyl connector  cover.
 
I have glow plug systems on a tractor and my car, and  don't believe that 
they draw enough power to prevent the starter from working,  unless the 
batteries are VERY weak.

In the Been There/ Done That department, I would like to  mention that if 
the engine does not start in the first 5-10 seconds, I always  close the raw 
water intake stopcock before proceeding.   I have made that  mistake once in 
the past and don't intend to repeat an engine rebuild  experience.  Dave

engine cranking speed somewhat. 
 
It  is not unusual for system voltage to drop below the minimum required by 
 electronic devices while cranking. 
 
One thing to watch out for is exhaust water getting back  into the engine 
during extended cranking. 
I  have a leak at the exhaust elbow which is hard to pin down for the  
above reason. Can't just hook up a garden hose to the water  injector. Oh joy, 
oh joy.
