Replace starter on 460 Ford OMC

[Striper Blues]

Anyone have any experience with this? Mine is in a 25' grady white and I can barely see any part of the starter, I'm hoping this is doable without lifting the motor....?

hello<br /> yep<br /> been ther done that<br /> sometimes the engine has to lift sometimes I can use a 3ft extension and access the bolts from the front. some hulls you have to remove the exhaust manifold for access. aint boating fun ?

sounds like one that i had. engine bed stringers were a bit to long causing the starter to actually rest on the stringer.pulled motor to change starter and while it was out shortened up the stringer to clear the starter.
