Re: Can't find the right starter!

I just had my solenoid rebuilt last week. $60 and he disassembled the started and lubed some things for me. I also found out that it was a car starter instead of a marine grade one. I could have paid an extra $25 for the correct marine cap to prevent sparks from the vent tube, but he closed it up with jb weld etc instead. So there's that option.
