About 4 months ago, I had my starter replaced at a local boat shop for about $300 since it had to be a marine starter. You may notice I have posted several questions over the last couple of weeks trying to determine why my boat wouldn't start. I finally took it back to the same boat shop, he took the starter off and checked inside it for rust since it would not be replaced under warranty from the manufacturer if it had rust inside. Well, it had rusted and locked up. My response was "but it's a marine grade starter, you would have to expect it to get water on it to some degree" Is this the case? How dry does this starter have to stay in order not to rust?
Thanks,
Billy
