Francois gave you some good things to look at. My first shot would be a dirty start button/switch. I'd try jumping across the back of the switch.
As for starters, boat on my pier had a Volvo diesel. Starter went bad. Volvo starter was north of $700. Lo and behold, it uses the same starter as a Mitsubishi Lancer which can be bought for less than $100. As it turned about, it wasn't the starter. I ended up with the old starter if anybody out there has a Volvo (or a Lancer) and needs a spare. It's been tested. Dennis C.
