After running my 1977 Peterborough with 188 HP Mercuiser for an hour or two anD I shut it off, if I try to start it while engine is still warm/hot it will not start. I jump the solenoid to starter and it fires up no problem. My car nut friend tells me to change out the starter/solenoid with automotive equivalents, but after reading all the posts here, I don't think thats such a good idea. Could the solenoid be intermittently not working, when the engine is cool/cold it fires up fine. Thanks
