after you run it drain the water from the bottom of the CMI's , let it sit for a few days and if it still acts up then its not water, but if it starts fine you might have a leaking header, I hope not they are big bucks. I rigged up an automotive radiator pressure tester to pressure test my exhaust,

Well it's been two years now and still have not found the problem. It's not the headers leaking, I've replaced the battery cables, I replaced the starter. Now when I turn the key I get a single click, then nothing. Turn it again and and the same thing, sometimes it take three or four turns before it will turn over. Yesterday I shut the boat off two times and it did it both times. Friday I started the boat for the first time of the season and it did not do it at all.
