Bo As stated earlier, corrosion is our enemy. You state that you usually need to turn the key a couple of times - not familiar with your model, mine has a key that simply turns on the ignition circuit and a push button that energizes the starter solenoid. Yanmar keys are very poor pieces of engineering, if you actually have a start position on your key, as in an automobile, you might want to look there for a worn out contact. But first priority would be ALL of the battery wiring: battery(s) ground cable(s), battery positive terminal, battery positive cable to starter/solenoid terminal(s). Remove each one at a time, degrease if dirty, use fine sandpaper like 220 or higher on the terminals to remove any corrosion, and re-attach each one. Solenoid will have a small gauge (maybe 16 or 18 awg) wire (maybe red) that provides the circuit from the engine control panel to the starter; clean that as the battery cables. If still you still have problem, look at the key/starter button - start by cleaning terminals there, then check the switch.starter button with a continuity checker for "flaky" operation.
