Hi, new to this forum so apologies if there is already a thread on this. I have a 2006 Maxum 2000SR3 running a mercruise 5L, V8. I have just swapped the batteries out, and ever since the engine makes a strange noise when starting (probably coincidental) - the engine starts, but there is what I can only describe as a loud grinding (ish) sound; The video at the link shows it far better than I can describe https://youtu.be/3s50oG6Dq3U
Not being massively mechanically minded, I suspect it might be an issue with the starter motor, but would welcome any advice or comments from those in the know.
Many thanks for for your help.
