Update on Slave issue. All my slaves were acting up this weekend. Each trim slave and the starter slave had issues. I got to the lake and the down trim wasn't working. After several attempts it went down. As the day went on the trim slaves began to work ok but the starter slave never work. I tried at different time during the day to no success.
On a side note I came across a boater in some distress. I went up to see if I could offer help but a friend was already helping them. As he described the issue to I thought to my self I would rather have my problem then theirs. He touched on some of his maintenance habits (or lack there of) and being someone that has worked on cars and has a ASC Certified mechanic for a son I felt what he was describing was worn and failing bearings (crankshaft). When he told me he hasn't changed his plugs since he bought the boat in 2004 and had not changed the oil in several seasons I felt it was time for me to go. deep "Deep knocking sound coming from within the motor.......Not Good.

Update on the switch. Had time this past weekend to check the grounds. All the grounds appeared secure and clean the test say they are good but the systems at the slave still indicate a ground issue. Still using the by pass switch to start the motor but other then that no other systems.
Gentlemen, Problem has been solved. The slave solenoid was defective. I went out and made sure I found a direct replacement for it and we i tested it using the continuity test i got a positive hit. The replacement is not easy. You need to bend the tabs off the backing and remove the solenoid. Replace the same way. This unit works fine. So the answer I was searching for turned out to be the slave. Thank you for all your help!!!!
