Well right now its taking a smack from a wrench to get my boat to start.
I pulled the solinoid off, it works as it should and I regreased it and reassumbled.
Hoping it would fix the problem.. but nope :(

Next I tried a piece of wire from the one terminal to the starter itself (its got the built in solinoid) but nothing :(

So a smack with a hammer got it spinning again but I should probably replace the starter.

Any advice? Any benefit to the earlier version without the solinoid?

Admittedly Ill probably sell the boat soon but I dont want to put junk in for whomever buys it next

Take it to a local shop that rebuilds starters!

Happy boating!
