Thank you all for the advice and assistance! I truly appreciate it more than you know! I do enjoy forums and the help they provide from awesome people like you!
All good info! Thank you! Motor turns freely, so that’s a plus. Won’t get back to it for about a week. Might be a winter project.
Question: How do it identify the correct starter for this engine and where is the best place to grab one? Again, assuming this engine is OEM, 1993 OMC 3.0...
Battery is brand new. 1000CCA deep cycle marine battery. Should be good there.
I’m going to trace all the wiring and ensure it’s all correct and super clean. I’m also going to try to figure out if it’s the right starter and if so, remove, test, and reinstall. If not, replace.
Wiring...
Just bought what I believe to be a 1993 GW Invader Bravo 180 with a 3.0l OMC Cobra.
First, can anyone tell me if this is a good boat or not? Floor/carpet are brand new, hull is in excellent shape, gauges/stereo need to be re-wired, and new starter (installed by PO) isn’t functioning properly...
