2002 4.3L Volvo Penta Starter

[Blader]

Hi all I went to start my 02 Four Winns Horizon and she wont go all I heard is clicking . I have a fuly charged battery tried to jump it still wont go. I knew it was starter had to bump it with a 2x4 and it started. My question is how to get it out ??? I pulled off side panel and lower panel but looks like u need to be a wee person to fit in there any ideas besides having to pull engine?

I have a ‘88 Horizon H-200 and can get the starter out without difficulty but the rear seat and side panels on that side must come out.
1st pic is the first one I installed in 2007, next pic is the last one I installed last year...

Got it out what a ***** ......saw my bilge is a bit screwed up hope I can fix it ...Now open heart surgery on starter....all connections wr good I suspect brush issue I think its original bolts still painted red....

most likely its just corrosion from having water and moisture in the bilge

Got it out needed lotsa twisting and bending Ill be sore ton.Took apart and found 3 outta 4 brushes stuck cleaned up entire assembly including com and armature reassembled and tested working good. Now thats it for today will reinstall later thanks for evrybodys help... Oh I think I know what happened last year I forgot to put in drain plug and hull filled with water so it probably got in there...Glad I caught it now not out on lake....
