    Merc 3.0 starter issues on 1995 Bayliner Capri

    Engine won't turn over, Battery strong at 13 volts. If I tap on the starter and solenoid with a small hammer she starts right up. I remembered doing that with an old car motor years ago. Time for a new starter?

    1995 Bayliner Capri 1950 battery connections

    Is there anywhere on this site specifically for Bayliner Capri owners? I have a few electrical questions. The battery compartment has two sets of cables: One set is thick POS/NEG cables that I assume go directly to the starter. The second set of POS/NEG cables are slightly smaller (thinner)...

    Correct battery for 195 Bayliner Capri with 3.0 Merc in/outboard

    Folks, I keep killing the Walmart Marine battery (new). Im just curious, if my boat engine is basically a 3 liter automobile motor, why not install a good quality car battery (Redtop) instead of a marine/deep cycle battery? Is there a problem doing that?
