I know this seems like a silly question, but I can not reach the inside bolt on the starter of my 1980 Mercruiser sterndrive/Chevy350. The flywheel cover was pushed into the flywheel after trying to take off with a bilge that was pretty full. This caused an awful loud clanging noise that I thought was something much more serious. I have removed the bolts from the flywheel cover but noticed that there must be a hole that the starter goes through because the cover will not come off. If this was a car, I would simply climb under and remove the starter. It seems like I need four foot monkey arms to reach this one. Is there something I am missing??? I can't see having to remove the engine to remove the starter.. The motor is mounted in a 1980 Chris Craft, Scorpion 210, 21 foot long. Please excuse my ignorance. I am new to this boat stuff, but have rebuilt many Chevys, just not in a boat. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have been fighting this for a whole day and finally came here to ask...
