Thanks to everyone who offered advice and expertise re my starting
problem.
It turned out to be a loose ground wire at the engine.
I needn't have installed a new ignition switch, but now I have a spare. And
I've learned a couple of valuable lessons. Lesson number one is: Ask first.

Pretty much every marine engine has a connector or two in the engine/panel
wiring harness. They are there to make installation convenient at the factory,
but,
all has Ben good since.
Good luck.

Hi Derek,
My 2QM20 might be a similar vintage to your

Just a caution, a check of voltage or resistance is only a part of the
puzzle. If the connection(s) on one or both ends are corroded, it may
still pass a small amount of current to show voltage but may not pass
enough current to support the user, i.e. pump or starter, etc.
Connections must be cle
Derek,
I had a similar problem starting this season, found it was a loose ground
wire on the alternator bracket. I had taken the alternator off when I was
changing the pencil zincs in my 2qm20.
There are some really smart guys on the list, with lots of good
information. I was lucky I didn't have
Derek,
Sounds like you have an intermittent wiring problem. Grab your voltmeter and
check each connection.
Could also be your starter solenoid.
Good luck.
All the best,

I’m having ignition problems with the 2QM15 engine in my C&C 30 mk1.
Normally, when the main switch is turned to on, the oil pressure alarm
sounds. Pressing the starter button starts the engine and the alarm stops.
This season, after a few successful starts, when I turned the main switch
on one d
That's scary! Good idea though.

This is for an A4, but the theory is the same. I have found a lot of starting
problems on boats and old cars can be cured with this starting relay. I used
