Inboard/outboard with six cylinder chevy engine.

Boat has new battery, rebuilt started, new solenoid, and new battery cables from battery to motor block (black) and from battery to the solenoid (red). When cold, get maybe one click from solenoid and the next key turn starts the engine. After driving the boat, the click occurs continuously every time the key is turned for a while but will eventually start the boat. May take 10 or more clicks. Seems to be temperature related.

It's a hassle to get the boat from the cabin to a mechanic.

Anyone have ideas what I might try next? No, can't afford a new boat.
