OMC 2.3 Cobra Starter Problem

[Bulbash]

yesterday out in lake my starter gave up. We do lots of watersports and I like shutting engine off when people get in and out of the boat... Turn the key, absolutelly nothing, not even a click... Took out a big screwdriver gave a few taps to the starter, turn a key and it started like new... Now every second start I need to tap the starter. Do I need a new starter or just a solenoid? Anyone knows a sierra part number of those?

Also, I can see 2 bolts holding it (might be another one just under it) or is there more in terms of taking it off?

You have remote solenoid.Test it before you change the starter.
But if you have to bang on it?? It's probably bad.
