I have a 05 4 stroke merc, and this is second time this summer, I took boat out, and suddenly engine quits and smoke rolls out from under cover, took cover off and it was coming from the starter motor, and of coarse it would not start again, what could be the cause, replacing the starter is easy but not cheap, any one has any clues on what is causing the problem? I hate to just buy, replace a bunch of unnecessary things. any help is appreciated
