much grass - boat placed away for the day - but in the event I need a starter - do you have a model number or source you can recommend?
 
Which terminal gets hot? Where clamped to the battery? That is caused by a bad connection (corrosion). Take it off and clean everything shiny bright and put back tightly.

Looking at the photo you included with your post.... that does not appear to be a 4 cylinder engine. What am I missing here?

HOT CABLE = Loose cable connection..... Tight but dirty cable connection.... internally flawed (corroded) cable.

Then the ground cable should be attached to that threaded stud on the lower front portion of the exhausr baffle plate.

isn't that the second wire - on the starter is the negative battery cable and the wire behind is the grounding wire.?
