It has a Mercuiser 165hp inline Chevy 6, in very good condition garaged most of its life and well cared for. I was hoping to find a group or information on this type of boat or at least the power train. Currently after adding a new manifold, tune up, re surfacing the head and oil change she purrs like a kitten. We took her out on our 1st break in cruise, just such a pleasant experience. I have had many boats in my day, even sunk a couple. I never had a boat run like this on its 1st cruise especially one this old. But when I pulled into the dock and shut her down to unload, I tried to start her back up to move her to the boat trailer and the starter just spun. Sounds like the the starter would not engage, just this winding noise, like something spinning in the starter. I don't know what might have caused that since the starter looks like new. Thank You in advance for anyone that can shed some light on this. === You might want to ask this question on "rec.boats" instead of "rec.boats.cruising" there are some knowledgable engine guys over there if you can attract their attention. Just ignore the political and personal BS. It sounds to me like the starter gear (sometimes called a Bendix) is not engaging properly and it may need to be replaced or rebuilt. Might just need cleaning and lubricating. Never seize sometimes works well for this. -- "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them". Thomas Jefferson I really don't think thats the problem of 'sticking' because it worked flawlessly, then it didn't. hmmmm |
