how long are your arms?how long to typically change the starter on a 5.0L with out lifting the motor
my new mechanic confirmed it, just was curious as to the amount of time and its about what i expected and is about what he told me. thank you sir.how long are your arms?
If you have orangutan arms, lay a pillow over the engine, lay on top the engine and reach down under the motor to remove it, about 30 minutes
with human arms
aft seating has to come out. this is a 2 person job and takes about 30 minutes
then 1 person can work and R&R the starter in about an hour
then the two people to put the seat back in is about 30 minutes
then 1 person to clean the boat - about an hour
so assume 4-5 hours worth of labor
what makes you think the starter is bad? how did you diagnose
not really, you have to remove the seats to get access to the engine mounts and the fuel system anyway to pull the motor. I was there when they swapped the motor on my bud's 240 sundeck when his 6.2 needed replacing because his dry-joint manifold failed on the starboard sideIf that is your engine bay him to pull the engine it would be quicker…
while they have the seats out. have them pull the block drain lines that go to the spider manifold (drain manifold) and clean out the debris.my new mechanic confirmed it, just was curious as to the amount of time and its about what i expected and is about what he told me. thank you sir.
