Most likely is a high resistance connection somewhere on the cable back to the battery.

The cable goes Alternator -> Starter Motor -> Lower Bulkhead -> Mega Fuse -> Battery

Check the connections at each point for corrosion and tightness. First two are the most likely. If you have a multimeter and long leads you can do a voltage drop test along the cable to identify the problem area.
