Your description has me 90% certain you have a bad ground from the wiring harness to the engine.  On my 2gm this was a large ring terminal attached to or above the stArter iirc.  Your multimeter may fool you as you are getting some conductivity.  Inspect, Clean/de oxidize that grounding point first, save yourself some time. 
Note - since you are near the 12v feed to the starter, be careful when you work...

Thanks for all the feedback.

I'll me digging out my multimeter and heading down to the boat this 
weekend.  I now realize that I don't think the engine vent fan turned on 
when I turned the key (my lights on the panel are rather intermittent 
and my engine overheat buzzer has never worked, plus the tach is 
intermittent -- so good chance that the wiring harness is the culprit).

I'll check the fuses on the engine and see if I can find the ground wires.

No glow plug to deal with.

I've also been advised to check the "neutral kill swtich" (stops you 
from starting engine in gear) and the "oil pressure kill switch" - not 
sure where those are so I'll have to look at the engine manual.

I'll see what I find and come back with more details if it's not working
