I have not had a problem with mine, But I have read that sometimes as the boat ages you get corrosion and resestance on the wiring and may not pass enough elec from the switch to the starter selinoid. The wiring may need to be replaced or bypassed. Most any basic diesel boat repair book will describe how to test and repair this. It may be as easy as cleaning the battery terminals and checking for loose wires.
