No, it shouldn't have to be raised, but it's a real bugger to get to.
the starter is heald up to the engine block with 2 bolts that thread
threw the bottom of the starter up to the block.

it's one of those "I can't see 'em, but I can feel, em" things.

Not fun.

Not the answer I was looking for, but thanks. Based on what I can see, it
looks like the engine has to be raised in order to change it out. Somebody
please tell me I'm wrong...

Mike, it should be mounted right on top of the starter motor, and is
part of the drive engagement , as well as an electrical switch.

Hello:

Wondering if someone can tell me where to find the starter solenoid on a
'99
Mercruiser 4.3L V6? Is it a part of the started motor assembly or is it
mounted away from the starter? This is on a '99 Maxum 1900 SR.

Thanks,
Mike
