Hello, i have a I/O Volvo PENTA 4.3GL and a Sierra starter that i changed four times now within 3 months, i use my boat in the ocean and my mechanic says that salt water is getting in the starter that cause it to jam and not work. how can i prevent that from happening as water will always get in the hull somehow, i installed a larger automatic bilge bump but it didnt help. i have couple of questions:
1. is there any starters in the market that are salt-water proof or some sort of cover i can place over the starter?
2. can i rinse my starter with fresh water?
ps. my starter is placed at the bottom of my engine.
thank you in advance
