"I have a 1980 31' Chris Engines were rebuilt in 2001. The starboard engine currently will not turn over. A few weeks ago when I went to start the engine all I got was the feared and dreaded clicking sound. The batteries are brand new and were fully charged. Setting the battery selection switch appropriately I was able to start the port engine using the settings 1, 2 and all. I replaced the starter and cleaned all the connections. Problem solved and life was good again. While replacing the raw water pump yesterday, I bumped the started a few times to get the bolts in a more convenient location for removal. After a few bumps of the starter I’m back to just clicks. The starter will not turn the motor again. Once again batteries are fully charged. The engine has a wiring harness with a quick disconnect and everything appears tight. Any thoughts on where to go from here?"
