Just got done testing, all connections seem fine. Battery's are new. I bought a new switch and same thing, Perko switch is good. Power to the starter (common on the back of the switch in both 1&2 positions. I played around with switching battery 1-to-2 on the back of the switch and then back again, sometimes the motor will start in both positions, sometimes in only the number 1 position and sometimes in neither of the positions. The only thing I concluded is that when it would or would-not start was not consistant, no patterns

I am starting to think it may be the starter or solenoid? I noticed sometimes when I was on the water and tried cranking it, it would turn, turn, turn, turn and then stops (the starter would stop turning) as if there was no more juice or the starter just stopped. I would try again and then it would start up. Not sure if this is normal or not.

Just a last ditch effort to post to see if anyone has had any similar experiences before I take it into the shop ($$$$)...thanks everyone.

Forgot to add, in the Number 1&2 positions, my engine tilt/trim always works.
