200 pro XS intermittent click while trying to start

every now and then I’ll just get a click when I turn the key. I’ll try again and it starts right up. Usually happens a couple times a trip. I replaced with a brand new 31AGM interstate (good voltage. 1160mca / 200rc) cleaned all wiring and replaced terminals on posts. Tightened and cleaned wires on solenoid. Problem still exists. Does this sound like a starter problem? Is there any way for me to test it with being so intermittent?

who has the best price on a new starter for me??

thanks!

Correct forum would be the 3 liter 2 down I believe

Every electrical problem starts with the Battery
Be sure it exceeds minimum requirements foryour motor and is fully charged and tested first
Defective battery
Connections
Start circuits in boat
Slave solenoid
Starter solenoid
Starter motor

Check voltage at the following points and record readings while cranking motor
Starter motor large cable______
The yellow/red tracer from the starter solenoid goes to the slave solenoid. On the slave solenoid there is another yellow/red wire that activates it, check both of these
Voltage between the pos post of the battery and power point on the motor
Voltage between the neg post of the battery and then motor block
Check the voltage at all of these locations while it is malfunctioning and key held in the cranking position
Perform all these test with the dvom ground lead attached to the battery ground post

On the slave solenoid connect the DVOM negative lead to the excite post (yellow/red wire), Connect the pos lead to the other Y/R that goes to the main starter solenoid and record reading while cranking
and report back on the findings
