Auto ignition switch ?

They do crank after letting off on the key. that's a fact and normal. On the newer ones say 07 and up. I think your mech is lost. It's real hard over the internet to tell what's going on. 2 questions I would want answered. Do you have spark? Easy to check with a $10 spark checker. Do you have fuel pressure. Fuel pressure gauge $75.
With all this if I were a betting man...your low pressure fuel pump took a ****. Pretty common on that year PCM eng. when I was wrenching on Tiges we had a lot of them crap out. Not saying it's what it is but I know this it would be the first thing I checked if I had your boat in for a crank no start. Good luck!

Thanks man got $40k sittin right now. Anyway I checked achrader valve and it's got fuel I did not let it spew in my face but I did hear the hp fuel pump kick in so I dunno how do I check the lp pump? I know there is a diag comp on these new boats so will it talk or not

Boat runs, cross firing distributor cap, replaced. But I did have to buy a $150 new starter for him to figure that out. I've heard some crazy prices on marine starters so if anybody wants one acdelco for $150 call hickory starters 8283228347

Let me give you word for word, dude says power goes from battery to starter to distributor, sounds funky to me but like I said I'm not cert nor do I have a 7k diag machine. But I will add to this, last 4th of July rains 12 in freakin crazy. Boat is in the water covered and still takes on more unwanted ballast than it takes to push ragboy into an aerial(jk) cuz my bilge pump was pissed. Drained, rode for 8 hrs soon after motor choked quit and now after 2 mech I'm back to starter, will replace 2moro but I feel it's not gonna fix sh** So I'm gonna try and tell mr know it all that chpthril said to check this and that and anything below the starter as far as sensors wires etc. any other ideas are welcome and thanks a lot guys I really do appr all ur help

There is a 100 amp inline fuse at the starter for power but changing the starter will not correct that if it is bad , the starter has nothing to do with the inline fuse and that is easy to check!

If the starter is turning the engine over its doing its job, if the engine doesnt start you have another issue.

Unplug the high pressure pump and put your hand on the low pressure pump there right one above the other, you can hear and feel them run thats one test , the other would require a pressure check with guage.
