Good Morning. I have a 99 Mercruiser engine 4.3 litre V6. I'm looking to install a new starter and have found conflicting specs in service manual 25. In section 3, the torque noted for the starter bolts is 50 lb-ft. If you look in section 4 there is a spec given there for 30 lb-ft. They both appear to be for the same bolts. Do you know why there are two different specs given for the same starter bolts. Both specs appear to be for the PG260F1 starter motor. Which spec would you use?
