Monterey 1996 256 Crusier ,
Put New short Block rebuild Engine, also rebuilt outdrive Three years ago , when I first tried to start it , the Starter made a really terrible grinding noise the Mechaniv thought it would work it way out, got worse then boat got moth balled for three years ! Been working on it the past couple months since I retired, now it seems to start to engage then spins free, I manually turn the motor over a half turn or so and try again, thinking it was a few broken teeth on the ring gear, tried three new starters from west marine , same issue, was thinking it is the wrong starter maybe the wrong sprocket maybe a 9 tooth should be a 11 tooth, But haven't found out a solution yet !
Boat in the water now, in Marina del Rey slip, does anyone have a solution??
thx
