Hi All. New to the forums and to boat ownership and boat restoration. Just got started on restoration on an 87 Seville with 170 Mercruiser I/O. Freshwater use only. I have a few questions
1. Is there a place to buy aftermarket direct drive starters? I spent hours today removing the old one, which may not be rebuildable. IT would be great to find an aftermarket direct drive replacement, (so much easier) but I have scoured the interwebs without much luck. I assume this has to be how I am searching, not due to lack of availability... or I hope anyway!
2. I plan on completely gutting and starting over, from the hull up, from the cuddy back to the stern. Is OK to do this on an EZ load trailer? If not, suggestions please.
3. Best Places to buy Stainless Hardware?
I am sure I will have many more questions. I have read through many of the threads on the forums here and found tons a great info. Any constructive comments/advice would be most welcomed! I will post some pics once I get a photosetup sorted out.
