Soo.. i've read a lot of posts concerning broken starter bolts on the mercruiser 3.0.
Mainly because of not using the front bracket. I have changed my starter recently and modifyed the original bracket to fit the new one.. only thing is i had to cut the hole that goes on the starterbolt open to make it fit.
Do you guys think it will help at all, or do i have to make a complete new one? Is the force when starting the motor both horizontal and vertical on the starter?
