What year is your Tolly? I remember you did quite a few upgrades to
it. with the exception of the starter problem were youu able to take
it out thispast weekend? or was it a dry run.

it's kind of an antique...1977. havent been out yet...need to replace
starter. so, hope to replace that, and get it moving in next few
weeks



I shouldn't say 'dry' run around here, because it seems that every
weekend it's been raining and raining hard.

I've only been able to make it to the lake once this year.

sad, but true....

yeah it's h ard to find the time...plus it always seems to rain on
weekends...

Cool. If yo need a GM starter, the newer gear reduction permanent
magnent types are the way to go. If you'd like for me to get you one
for your boat engine[s], let me know. My cost on a new ( and I mean
BRAND NEW) starter with bolt kit is less than $60.00.

Fantastic price. I paid about $170 for my last one.

What do they go for retail, or so called discounted?
The beauty of them is they draw less current.
The downside is, I've heard that if they get wet they're junk. Is that
true.- Hide quoted text -

not necessarily, Parts are available for them and are down right cheap
(just like the starter) The thing is that when any starter draws
moisture is that it corrodes the brushes and holders and usualy will
rust brush springs to the point they break and the standard old
starters did the same thing. What is the deal is that thae new
starters are so cheap to buy that to 'rebuild them' if you have to go
to deep, the labor is what eats up the wallet.

But unless the starter has sat in water for an extended period of time
(wspecially salt) yeah, they can be flushed out, re lubed and usualy
takes a new solonoid switch and they're good to go again.


But tht raises another thing, outside of normal humidity like on a doc
boat that isn't retrieved for the season, if the water is high enough
to penetrate the starter, then somebody's got more problems than just
a starter.

My starter failed the bearings. But that was because I left a cleanout
valve open and covered the starter with San Francisco Bay sal****er. Local
guy said it cost more to rebuild than replace.
