I have a 95 Bayliner 2452 5.0 L Mercruiser. I suspect starter is
getting weak so I purchased a new one. I then noticed that replacing
the starter looks like a difficult task. I thought it would be wise
to ask other owners how they replaced the starter in such cramped
environment. Thank you for any advice you can lend.



The thing is, the starters usually don't usually get "weak". They
either work, or they don't. before I went to all the pain to change
the starter motor, I would have the battery tested,a nd clean all
connections, including the ground cable, to where it attaches to the
engine block.


What he said. Plus if you have to remove the starter, long, wobble
extensions help.
