Hi all,
Getting the boat prepped for the summer, one of the things on my to-do list was replacing the bendix on the starter.
I took the starter off, replaced the bendix and reinstalled the starter. I charged the battery, went to start it and all i get is a buzzing or crackling noise coming from the motor, and there was some smoke coming from the positive battery terminal.
Does this sound like there is a short somewhere?
Any tips?
It is a 1989 Johnson 70.
