I have an 89 johnson 175. When I go to start it engages than wines,
engages
than wines. Is this the starter or solenoid. Thanks..

Is it engaging or not?

If its engaging, but dropping out when the starter starts spinning, it could
be a low voltage problem.

If you are sure you have good juice to the starter/solenoid, I would suspect
the solenoid, but the only real way to tell, is with an Ohm meter.

Good luck.
