I'd check the positive battery cable going down to the starter. They can look new from the outside, corroded on the inside creating way too much resistance to get her fired up. You think it's either of the two you noted, when it's a bad cable.
Had this happen on our boat. Took a bit to figure out.

You need to fix the problem of water getting into what it's not supposed to.
