Resolved before posting - but putting it here anyway.
Boat ran all day on Saturday.... zero issue. Went to start port side on Sunday - zero start.
At the end of it all - turned out that the starter solenoid RELAY went out... also known as the mag switch.
$45 part.... but let me tell you.... getting to it on the port side is a bit of an issue - and by a bit - I mean a WHOLE bit.
Either remove the aluminum support and work around the exhaust or wiggle back in front of the turbo.
Or - break 3 ribs, turn your head 180 degrees, dislocate a few joints - and pray.
