IDK, I would have expected the starter side to be melted as well. Wondering if full fat battery power from the trim circuit found its way back to the alt. Although it still should have made it back to the 50a breaker as well I think.
Still trying to get the boat working after its misadventure getting beached/swamped during a storm. Thought this piece would be an easy to find generic, but I can only find full rib rail systems, and I'm also not sure what the piece is called.
Not necessarily. The slop can be from anywhere in the system. I was able to steal a bit of play by tightening up a few other clearances, esp at the shift shoe. I'm still unfortunately way out and need a lower unit swap...
So the last step in that chart is to have a working ignition, you must not have followed it correctly. Putting in a new ignition will be more trouble than fixing the old.
Dunno, haven't checked. Starter turning over slowly as well, battery got submerged, starter got wet. Not sure where the problem is. Guess it would be a good time to take apart the starter and clean it...
Couldn't tell from the description whether this was the shift cable bellows as well as the drive shaft bellows. You can also get water into the boat through the shift cable
Yes, shifting is difficult with engine running or not. So does the starter need to be removed to access the shaft (guessing yes), and am I on the right track?
