Help,
Couldn't re-start the motor in the middle of lake. Once in, removed the starter and one tooth was broken off (I have it) the flywheel on the exact position of the starter. Took the starter into the shop and it is working fine. My question is this: Is there a way to advance the flywheel so that I can continue using the boat as is? I want to avoid replacing the flywheel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brad

Strange how with all those teeth, that flywheel will stop right where that broken tooth is aligned with the starter drive every time.

On that boat its real easy to change the flywheel.

Just unhook the coupler block up the back of the eng remove the trany.
replace flywheel then put her back together.

Its not like an I/O where you haft to pull the eng.

You can replace the ring gear instead replacing whole flywheel . Requires torch ,block of wood , hammer and punch . Ring gear can be purchased from Napa auto parts
