Had to install a new starter due to the last one grinding and wont start the boat. The new starter worked good for a day then it started the grinding noise and will not start the boat. Any advice on what it would be? No water in the engine, turns fine with the spark plugs out, battery is full charged, flywheel looks good two bad spots but nothing major. :confused:

Pull the starter again and look at it. If it's a reman or one of the cheaper new starters, you may have to shim it out some if the starter gear is too close to the ring gear.
Are you sure the starter is tight? Did you use new starter bolts?

Used new starter bolts after Bolts came lose and the noise started again, so we built a bracket and it still grinds. Could the starter be trashed from it coming lose once.? I believe the brand name started with a A for the starter.
