starter replacement in JC Tritoon, 5.0l mercruiser
Posted: Tue Sep 21, 2021 7:36 pm
Hello
I need some help with my starter problems. It wouldn't start the last time we were out. The engine cranked over about 3 to 4 seconds, starter slowing down each second and then stopped. It would click but nothing else. Thought it was a bad battery. Got it home, I have two batteries, Deep cycle, and starting. both showed 12.2 volts on a multimeter. Charged them up and still only 1 click when I turned the key. Tried jumping across the remote starter solenoid , only a faint click, 12.4 volts on one post, 0 on the other. 2005 JC Tritoon, not a lot of room to work in. Anyone replaced this starter before? I think if I removed the exhaust manifold it would give me access to it. Any Advice? Thank you in advance, I tried doing a search but was unseccessfull.
