I have a 1976 25 catalina that is eating starters. It is a GM bock. I thought it was a 350 but may be a 305 after searching online. It has a bottom mount starter (I have 3 different ones now) that I can't get to engage the flywheel with shimming. Even the one that worked originally. the teeth on the flywheel are good and the bendix is good too. I have decided to try and put a stern mount starter in instead. The problem is that all the starters I have tried are not lining up. It seems the nose cone just doesn't quite fit right. It goes in but wont line up with the bolt holes and stay flush. Any help is appreciated. I assume that I have a marine power ccw rotation engine. It is all original from what I can tell.
