"Hi,
Four Winns Horizon 200
OMC 4.3L Cobra I/O
Hasn't been started in 2-3 years but was running when they put it in storage, and was stored properly according
to a trusted and reliable source.
When you turn the ignition key, you hear a single "caCHUNK!" and that's it. No starting action after that.
The battery is brand new and proper power. Terminals are cleaned.
I bought the Clymer's manual but it doesn't show how to take out the starter, only "remove the mounting bolts", and
I have no idea where they are. (It's tight in there).
Is there something easy I can test before dropping out the starter? (heard someone talking about crossing a screwdriver
across the big terminals on the solendoid that is on top of the starter motor? Should I do this?
Also, if you think I should pull the starter, any idea where those bolts are and how many?
Can the starter be pulled if without hoisting the engine out of the boat?
Thanks very much for any help you guys can give. I tried to get the boat in the water last year and was basically at the same
spot. It's my first power boat.
Thanks,
Doug"
