I've seen many photos and did some homework, but cannot locate my slave solenoid on my particular boat. Mine appears to be different than the other model years I've seen. Where is this thing so I can test it? Thanks much for any guidance.

The partition starboard of the engine and dividing off the steering mechanical and storage area has a snapped in oval of canvas on my boat. Remove it for easy access to the starter. Probably the solenoid too. Fuel filter.
I think you missed Espos4's point. A 240SD is not constructed the same as your boat. Different boats are often constructed differently. There is no "wall" like your boat has. If he used a sabre saw, it would be into the boat, itself.A sabre saw would open it right up.
Save yourself a lot of trouble and just remove the starboard riser and manifold. Still a bit of a reach once they are out of the way but it will be easier. Also gives you a chance to inspect the exhaust components and exhaust valves of your “new to you” boat.I just picked up an '01 240SD with the 5.7efi that needs a starter. If I remember my phone I'll try to do a walkthru on replacement with pics since it's so hard to access.
