Originally posted by JB:<br /> WHOA there, jc canvas!<br /><br />One of my pet peeves in the outboard world is the replacement of parts that might not need replacing. Three out of five replaced starters are good or at least easily fixed. An auto starter rebuilder can make one like new for a LOT less than the cost of a new one, for example.<br /><br />Could you ease my mind that you aren't about to waste a couple hundred bux?<br /><br />How did you determine that the starter needs to be replaced?<br /><br />Oh, and welcome to iboats.
