for a couple of weeks it would just click...so i would tap the starter a couple of times and it would engage and crank the engine. it would run great after that.
then the boat would sit for a week, and again...try to start...click click click.
tapped the starter a couple of times and vroooom.
finally i figured i needed to address the issue, which i assumed the starter needed a rebuild (wouldnt hurt either way)
got the starter rebuilt....put it on the engine, and turned the key and the starter gear spun like hell.
so it cranked the engine great a couple of times. then the click came back!
and now, the starter does not engage at ALL. just a loud click everytime i turn the ignition.
any ideas on where to start?
