John,
Had the same issue a few years ago and eventually could not start the engine at all. After trying to find the issue with a multi-meter without success I called in a mechanic. He found the cause was poor / partially broken connections in the wiring at the harness behind the Yanmar panel was letting voltage show across but not sufficient amperage. He cut out the old plastic harness connection and directly wired things together with butt connectors. Have not had that issue since. Good luck.

Sometimes starts just fine on first try. Applies to only one of our two batteries. We recall a thread on this subject a while ago but do not recall the solutions. Can you point me to the thread??
