![]() "Camilo" wrote in message ... "Ree-Yees" wrote around tomorrow? My motor is a 1987 Mercruiser inboard/outboad motor. You already got the advice on getting your starter rebuilt. What kind of engine is it? If it's an I/O, it is sometimes absolutely the best route to get your current starter rebuilt vs. buying a new or rebuilt one - there's some shimming issues (I was told). Oops - didn't notice that you'd already said it was a mercruiser i/o. My comment about the shims applies installing starters on GM 5.0 / 5.7 l (305/ 350 ci) blocks, whether they be automobile or marinized. (so I've been told - I'm not a mechanic, but have received advice from a couple on this issue) I was told, once you get a starter fitted to one of these blocks, keep it. I ended up with two starters on my old GM 5.7 boat engine - just by chance, but it ended up being a good thing a couple of years later when my starter went out and I could save some time by re-installing the old (and rebuilt one) easily because it had already been shimmed. My comment about pull starting I take back!! Hey good luck getting back on the water. Also please post a follow up to your water drainage issue. |
