Do I need to shim it:

[mot007us]

I have a 1979 Javelin, 100 hp. 4 cylinder boat motor, model number 100TLR79S, I want to put in a new starter, do I need to shim it. Thank you.:fish2:

NO.........

(not unless it's an old Chevy.)

Seriously, I don't recall hearing of starter shimming in OMC outboards -- wonder if there is any history of that.
