An update on the starting problem I had posted:
It turned out that the starter was failing. The larger house bank had enough amps available to start it until the starter died on the launch ramp a week ago. Had to be towed to the mooring. Not a stellar start to the season but better than finding out it wouldn’t start in a remote location.

Thanks for your several replies and suggestions.
The engine starts well on the house bank, indicating that the wiring from switch to starter (including ground) is good. I plan to replace the switch this weekend as launch date is Monday the 17th.
By the way, my F36 is hull # 46, was formerly Bounder from East Falmouth and was stored in the prior owner’s yard since last sailed in 2002. She will be renamed Hard Earned this weekend and will sail out of Padanaram, MA.
