Is $300 too much just for the starter for my 82 115 merc outboard...That sure sounds high.<br />Also can my starter that sorta works be rebuilt.

He doesn't have to get lucky.<br /><br />There's a used starter on Ebay right now that comes with a guarantee and a free solenoid.<br /><br />Search on: <br /><br />Mercury Outboard (inline 6) starter<br /><br />or item # 2490661147<br /><br />-W

I'm not sure... but I think the one in question has a "buy it now" option that ends the auction at the moment it's clicked. <br /><br />-W

Your starter can be rebuilt by any auto starter rebuild shop, GG.<br /><br />Typical price is $60-$75.

That photo is unaltered and virgin, ob! Shame on you!!<br /><br />Say, GGoody, how have you determined that your starter needs to be replaced or rebuilt?<br /><br />I have seen many good starters replaced because something else in the high current circuit was at fault, not the starter motor.<br /><br />Please tell us your symptoms and what troubleshooting you did. You may not have to spend a dime to get it working first rate again.

I know J.B... Thought I might throw in some bait and see if I got a bite.<br />A bit of envy/jealousy might have crept into the post
