Default Neutral Safety Switch?

Hi Guys:
A few times this summer when I would go to start my boat nothing happened. I would turn the key and nothing would click or crank. After about 2-4 minutes of my face turning she would just turn over and start. Is this a faulty neutral safety switch? If so anyone know where it is located and where to buy a new one?
Thanks

Neutral swich is in shifter. Yellow/red wires connect to switch. You can by pass to check or for good if you like without taking unit apart.

I had a similar problem in my old 223, turned out to be a solenoid was on the left front of the engine right by the mercathode under a plastic housing. $25 and 10 minutes later I was off and running.

now that I think about it, it did give an audible click - at least when the hatch was open.
