89 5.7 Alpha One Mercruiser<br />Hopefully someone has some ideas. After sitting up for a few weeks, when I hit the starter, I hear a "click" from the engine compartment. After around a dozen clicks, it finally engages. Once it engages, it does fine until it sits for a while. I cleaned the terminals on the solenoid which is mounted on the starter with no luck. Could it be the starter is going bad? Is there any other connections to check? I sure don't want to replace a good starter, but I've got to address this before it leaves me stranded with wife and kids. Thanks
