Hey guys I have a 1998 larson 176 sei with 3.0 gs engine and I've been having a problem with starters they keep failing on me, the starter has iner plastic gear the just gets chewed everytime.
At first i was considering hydralocking but the last time it happened the boat was on the trailer with the muffs and it probably started 10 fine and then it shredded the inner plastic gear in the starter.
I ruled out the hydralocking cuz, it wasnt even in the water, there was no leaks anywhere both intake and exhaust manifolds look good no corrosion, the engine didnt dieseled, i dont think is the head althou i have all the records for the boat and it has had the head resurfaced twice in 5 years i dont know why thou. Everytime i get a new starter i install it and it start right over, ive never had to pull the plugs and cranck it, so im thinking if it was hydralock it would mess the new starter from the getgo wouldnt? The boat sits for like a week in between the tkme a get new starters
Please let me know what you guys think could be cousing this to happened, is driving me nutz.
