    Volvo Stater wont start when warm

    My 1996 boat with a Volvo Penta 5.0 has an intermittant starting problem. When on the water and switching skiers - it occasionally wont start, no clicking noise or nothing. I thought I diagnosed the slave solenoid as not providing power to the starter solenoid - so I replace it, but the...
