    ignition switch problem I think?????

    Last summer boat had intermittent starting problems. New batteries, and new starter put in and it didn't help. To get us through the last few trips during the summer I wired a push button off of the starter so when the key was on I pushed the button and boat would start. Turn key off and boat would shut off. Next step is replace ignition switch????
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Boat is 2013 Z3

    Thank you!!

    new starter
    Was this just the starter or did it include a new solenoid also?

    I wired a push button off of the starter
    Very common for boats to have a starter relay between the key switch and starter solenoid. Sounds like your push button might have been down stream of the starter relay, if there is one.

    Either way, a volt meter will remove a lot of the guessing. Have you probed the STR terminal off the back of the key switch?
