1988 Mercruiser 3.0L intermittently clicks and won't turn over

My 1988 Mercruiser 3.0L intermittently clicks and won't turn over when I try to start the engine. After turning the key several times it will usually start. I have replaced the battery, and the starter motor. I have also checked and cleaned connections. Any ideas?

a soft click would indicate a slave solenoid problem.

Thank you, I'll check that.

That solved the problem. Thanks.
