"Hi men, I am tearing my 1987, 350 CID Mercruiser apart. The engine is still in the boat. How do I get the bottom bolt out of the starter (it connects the starter to the block). Is there a secreat way or do I need a special wrench? I can't see lifting the entire engine out of the boat to get the starter out! The reason being the engine will not crank over. I put a new battery in and it still won't crank. The wires show 12.7 volts on red to ground and 3.0 volts on the other side of the solinoid. Need help, Bob"
