I HAVE A 1997 FORMULA TWIN 454 PORT STARTER I THINK IS BAD HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO REPLACE?<br />DOES NOT SEEM THERE IS ALOT OF ROOM.

Re: REPLACING THE PORT STARTER

Twin Engines are a lot of fun when pushing the throttle forward,especially twin 454's.But generally working on them is a pain,expensive or both if you have to pay someone to do it.<br /><br />Since you asked 'how difficult is it ?' I think I can assume the engines are so close together that removing the exhaust manafolds is out of the question. <br /><br />Maybe post a picture,but you may have to pull one of the engines to replace the starter.In some boats this isn't really ALL that bad.Some boats ... $$$$$<br /><br />DHP

Re: REPLACING THE PORT STARTER

i just did the manifolds/risers my self it was interesting to say the least.so pullling the manfold should not be a problem.my problem is when i turn the key nothing. checked the battery they are brand new when turn the starboard key starts right up.sometimes if i rev the stbd engines it will start the port.I am going to trouble shoot over the weekend via DonS TROUBLE <br />SHOOTING LINK VERY INFORMATIVE.<br /><br />it is good when you share a boat with someone<br />you can trust because @3.89 a gallon it is only half.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Tino
