So after camping two weeks ago, we got back to the launch after, I back the trailer in the boat wouldn't start, starter has a stuck bendix :-( oh well, so we walked the boat on the trailer.
As it turns out I installed the starboard side motor mount too far back, so it was in the way of the starter, had to take the saws all to it to get the starter out, also had to remove the alternator and the water hose.
This is the large heavy duty Prestolite starter.
Jim was helping me out, we tried a smaller starter design but that didn't pan out, so had the original one rebuilt, install the new starter, and then it turned over but I couldn't get it to start, turns out for some odd reason the fuel pump failed as well. And the rebuilt starter only worked once, Bendix still sticks so that is back at the rebuilders now.
I did get the electric feel pump installed last night
Still waiting for the oil pressure cut out switch and block off plate for the mechanical pump.
