My only suggestion running around cape cod and the neighbouring islands is to
have your tide and pilot book and try to time your passages with the currents.
They run up to 3 knots and can really slow your progress. If you go through
the canal the current can run up to 6 knots.

Sounds like you have an intermittent wiring problem. Grab your voltmeter and
check each connection.
Could also be your starter solenoid.
Good luck.
