Hi all,

I took the boat out today and everything went fine. When I got home
and tried to start the engine again to flush it. It wouldn't start.
I took off the cowling and trid several times, the starter would spin
but wouldn't jump up to engage the flywheel.

1. Is it time to replace the starter or is it salvagable?
2. what could have cause this demise?
3. if the starter needs replacement, is this a pretty easy job?
anything I should watch out for?I've ordered a generic manual-on-cd
that covers this engine and should be getting soon.

the engine is a 1983 envirude 90 hp. It ran really good today though,
doing 35 mph.

thanks in advance.
