I have a 1985 Mercruiser 470. Also have the reconverted alternator kit installed. Starter works fine when the engine is cold. If I run the boat for awhile and try to restart when the engine is hot the starter just clicks. I can take a screwdriver and jump the starter solenoid to the starter and it will fire right over.
If I wait 5 to 10 minutes and let the engine cool down a bit it will fire right over.
I was thinking it might be the starter solenoid but the screwdriver method seems to rule that out.
