    Marine Flywheel compared to an auto flywheel

    When I first heard the metal snagging noise I took the starter off and had it rebuilt thinking that I was having starter motor trouble. When I went to install starter that’s when I noticed some teeth missing. Everything will be easy to inspect once I pull the engine and get it on the ground

    Marine Flywheel compared to an auto flywheel

    I got it now. You separate the ring gear from the flywheel and replace it with a new ring gear. I saw a whole replacement for $140 on Amazon and I didn’t know that you could separate them.

    Marine Flywheel compared to an auto flywheel

    Why is the marine flywheel so much heavier than a flywheel used in automobiles? I have a 1996 5.7L Mercruiser and it is in need of a new flywheel. Current flywheel has some missing teeth and I really dont want to get stranded at the sandbar and require a tow home.

    1996 SeaRay express cruiser 215 starter squealing just after engine starts 5.7L

    Does this sound like a starter going out? Motor cranks over good and strong and right where you get off the ignition key the starter makes a squeal. I am guessing that it is hanging up just a smidge until the starter gear slips out of the fly wheel.
