No,
I said it does not have a slave like, I said
Your slave relay is not the typical one found on most, is the same as the fuel pump and main power relays. There are 3 of them and look for the one with the yellow/red wire on it, it will be the slave

The older ones looked like this
Slave Relay 89-96054T.jpg

You have 3 relays on top, pic post 18
The start, main power and fuel pump are all the same. The trim may be different and have not compared

One of the 3 relays on top "IS" the slave relay
The other 2 are main power and fuel pump

Thanks just need a link to a new switch.
Look at your switch and see the amount of contacts 3, 4 or 5 and if its screws of wires that come out of the switch

The search "mercruiser key switch" and find one that is the same as yours

My ignition would do this sometimes, I put in new ignition switch and cleaned all wire connections with a rotary tool. Also make sure to clean the contacts on both sides of the ignition fuse. Don't forget to clean at the starter junction too.

Mine hasn't done it since.
