    I hear ya, but I am in the middle of doing a total gut of our master bathroom and there are only so many hours available on the weekend. I may just have to breakdown and fork out the $$$$. Fortunatley, the parts did not cost me a penny out of pocket. I ordered them all through Amazon, using about 400,000 Hilton Honor points.

    Maybe the mechanic could use a weekend away on your points!

    I found this thread funny. I have the same boat - it's an easy job. Just remove the red raw water hose out of the way and lay down next to the engine. Two long bolts going up vertically into the block and you're done it will fall out (and wiring yada yada)

    My 215 06 weekender has access panels on each side of engine to get to the transom. Guy replaced starter when I bought it. It took half an hour.

    Have you bypassed all the switches, solenoids, etc and put power straight to the starter to see if it actually is the starter? Would suck to change out the starter oonly to find out it was just a loose and /or dirty connection or poor ground.
    If it turns over as it is supposed to, work backwards until find the where the problem is. Make sure you use a Battery Cable. I made my test cable from a pair of jumpers. ALSO - Don't forget the check the grounds as well.
