Basically when the motor is "cold" , sitting in the berth with the batteries on charge (also have an intelligent charger) it will fire right up_..much as it did first time today.
Motor out, anchor for a 3-4 hours and turn the key and it is dead. Jump it from the screwdriver and it fires up right up. I had a quick look at the motor when I jumped it tonight_definitely the inline fuse connector looks old and in need of replacement. The blue cylinder it hooks up to before hitting the solenoid also looks like it needs new connectors as well. I checked the motor block ground and it also could be filed and cleaned up a bit.
When I replaced the ignition switch I noticed that the fuse holder on that end also was on the tired side. I have a fair bit of incline connectors and connections to replace not to mention I will also install new batteries as well. Hopefully that solves the problem and if not then I will go after the solenoid_..Appreciate everyone's input on this_.
