Question:    my 235 cranks up on the first spin when the engine is cold.       But after driving awhile and stopping, the starter doesn't spin but turns like the battery is low.    I know I have a good battery.    Any thoughts?    Thanks!

Heat increases resistance in electrical connections.  Check the wires
grounding the starter motor and the positive lead for corrosion or loose
bolts.

Also check the terminals on the battery, especially if you have a quick
disconnect or battery tender inline with the wiring.

Good luck.  Intermittent issues are the worst to troubleshoot.
