How do you remove a Marine starter?

Answer by  boonjax (205)

There are 2 bolts that run up from the nose of the Marine Starter. These are 9/16 bolts. There will be two more bolts - 3/8 bolts on other end of the nose. You will need to remove all these bolts to get access to the starter and remove it.

Look in your owner's manual. The starter is easy to replace. Just unplug the transistor wires, unscrew the unit, put in the new unit and rewire. You'll get greasy but its easy to do.

Which GM starter do you have? Is it the standard HD marine starter that was manufactured earlier or the gear reduction starter which is newer? The first type has a motor that is much larger than the solenoid.

First, take out the retaining bolt, you can find that on the soleniod. Pull off the rear casing and rear cover, as it will give you better access. Remove the pins that are holding the springs in place. Make sure that the brushes don't fall out when you took teh springs out, or it won't go back in.
