starter

Bought an 03 320 Sundancer about a month ago. Immediately started having issues with the start up. At first the starboard was slow to Start and we had to use the emergency start once or twice to fire it up. Replaced all the batteries and now intermittently the port side engine will not click...

I just replaced my battery. It is fully charged and the trim works fine. But nothing happens when I turn key. I checked the ignition fuse and the boat is in neutral and the ignition shutdown switch (near the throttle) is in the correct position. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for...

Hello all, 1991 SD 310 I have recently changed the oil on both 7.4 engines with v drive both were running just fine. After oil change port side engine will not crank. No click, nothing. I assumed it was the ignition switch and changed that but no change. Now I'm zeroing in on the starter...

350 merc with b3 outdrive. Went to crank it up last night and got the single beep then nothing. We keep in our lift on the water. Last we had it our was about 2 weeks ago and she was fine. We keep it on shore power as well. We've had some pretty crazy storms the past few days and it's been...

Hello all, I need a starter for my 2007 sundeck 270, 6.2L Mercruiser. Just wondering if anyone has suggestions for a brand or a website. Thank you!!!

I have a 2005 390 DA Sundancer. This season I had an issue with the starboard engine not starting using the rocker switch at the helm. If I used the emergency switch I could start the engine without an issue. So I proceeded to change what I thought could be causing the issue. Started with...

Joined the Club last year and appreciated the help with the blown spark plug. 5.0 Mercruiser on 180BR New set of plugs and a water separator and she was screaming the first times on the lake this year. Next came the trim solenoid and ran through two tanks with no issues. Now I'm having...

Hey guys - My neighbour helped me uninstall my starter over the weekend and I just got it rebuilt. I would like to try to reconnect it on my own, but don't know what the wiring should be like. Can anyone tell me based on this photo what should be connected to each post? Thank you

A little history. I put my boat in the water, turned the key, nothing... Just a faint click from engine compartment. So I wiggle the shifter to ensure it's in neutral, try to start again, nothing. I checked battery connections, they are tight, try ignition again, the boat fires up and runs...

Had happened twice now... when I turn key, it does nothing... can here (can't think of name) piece spinning which is normal... but then engine never tries to turn over... once boat is started works perfect. Battery, alternator, and has plenty gas... If I out throttle button on shifter in...

Just charged batteries; had all power working. Started motor, (after a few key turns with no cranking). Warmed up a few minutes, backed out into harbor, shifted into forward and lurched a few feet forward,then motor died abruptly. After that, no more cranking, dead in the water. Tried waiting...

My Merc 5.0 MPI won't start. Battery is good, as I just replaced it and getting 12 volts to the slave solenoid, get 8 volts coming out of slave on the red/yellow wire when I turn the ignition. I put on a new solenoid and it did the same - one click when I turn the key. I have 12V at the starter...

My marine mechanic left the drain plug in after winterizing:smt089. It sat the entire winter under a cover, but rain and snow still got in, because the bilge had water up to the deck. I have to give the guy credit, because he's taking full responsibility for the mistake. The lower half of the...

The boat: 1997 sea Ray 190 ; 4.3 v6 Starter has been making a clunk sound prior to engaging and starting the motor. Started the motor on a hose prior to leaving for the ramp. Got to the ramp and the starter would engage then disengage and spin. Trip ruined. Removed starter and took for bench...

Fellow boaters help??!! :smt089 Having problems chasing down starter issue. Slave solenoid and starter switch are all new. Only way to start engine is to jump it. When I ground wire at first 10 pin connector under helm the engine starts without having to hit start switch. Wire has good...

Hello, I been winterizing my boat which is a 1997 Sundancer with a 5.7 alpha drive for the last three years and this year things went very wrong. Usually I have my boat hauled out and put on blocks but this year because of Sandy and not being able to get my boat hauled out in time I decided to...
