I replaced the original starter in my 97 cuddy, volvo / omc engine at end
of last year with a remanufactured one, she fired up okay this year when I
de- winterized, but when I launched yesterday it failed again(the starter).
I spent the money and ordered a new one, try again.
Appreciate your thoughts on remanufactured starters, is this common for them
to go so quickly , i had no hours on the darn thing.

Hope all are enjoying the season!

Here's the problem: you are looking for advice because your judgment
in this area could use some support, but
you are priming us with your judgments, instead of your observations,
which would allow us to make our best judgments.

About the recon starter failing. How did it fail?
Did it not spin?
Did it spin slow?
Did it spin fast for the first five continuous minutes you spun it?

Did it spin fast, but lug badly at one point per revolution?
THOSE are the observations one needs....

You checked the neutral start switch position, of course?
