Hi I'm having an intermittent starting issue with my 2002 FW 200 Horizon that has a VP 5.0 GXI engine in it It's an intermittent problem where we I turn the key to the start position nothing will happen no cranking but I do hear the fuel pumps running and the gauges are active. The battery is good and charged an I have even tried a brand new battery as well! I played around with it yesterday and it took over 1.5 hrs before it would finally crank and start up. I shut the engine off and started it 15 different times after that without an issue. It's very frustrating and I'm concerned that I'm going to get stranded on the water if I shut the engine off while out on the lake to go swimming or fishing! Please let me know what you think could be causing this problem. Thx

neutral safety switch (not in neutral) or the slave relay for the starter are good items to check...
