In the event that bilge water should get high enough to enter the lower mounting bolt holes then galvanic action will begin to eat up the anodic lower bolts and the studs. I have seen enough of that where the lower studs were almost eaten away. That is when the outer transom gasket starts to...
Check if there is 12 volts at the +/bat side of the coil when cranking, you may either have a bad “bypass” circuit from the main starter solenoid or it is not connected. It is the purple wire on the outboard side of the solenoid.
Take a small screwdriver and gently spread each pin in the cannon plug. Sometimes that can cause the problem.
Also check that the shift interrupter is wired correctly or that it is not in the triggered position.
As Lou said you need to check the voltage on the + or bat side of the coil. There should be 12 volts or slightly more with the engine running. Just considering the age of the Petronics system if it was my boat I would have a spare so maybe you should try replacing the original one and keep the...
I hope all you Florida guys made out without too much damage. I can feel your pain as the southeast and west parts of Louisiana caught a few bad ones in the past.
A whole house generator came in real handy for me last year.
If the insides of the mounting holes are not sealed you could put a ring of sealer around the studs where they protrude inside the transom before bolting the inner mounting plate in place.
That will keep moisture out of the holes from the inside.
Sealant may cause the gasket to split. You could go around the perimeter of the transom plates after they are torqued down.
Nice fiberglass job I must say.
Just use the original solenoid to trigger the solenoid on the new starter with a #10 wire and using a switch to switch heavy cable mounted to the battery side of the original solenoid to the starter main post. That is how I set up the rear entry PMGR starter on my jet boat.
Another way is to...
The tried and true best way to locate the source of the fuel delivery is with a 6 gallon outboard tank and bypassing the boat tank. If the engine straightens up then the tank is where to look. If not then start checking fuel pressure and any filters before the pump. The carburetors are easy...
If the manifold is a dual plane style it should work out with no problem.

I am sending you a private message.
Leave the small tan and yellow wires where they are on the original solenoid.
Relocate the main battery cable to the large post on the new starter. Remove the large yellow cable from the original solenoid and make up a #10 gauge wire to replace it from that post to the “S” small terminal on the...
