| I have a 95 Bayliner 2452 5.0 L Mercruiser. I suspect starter is
getting weak so I purchased a new one. I then noticed that replacing
the starter looks like a difficult task. I thought it would be wise
to ask other owners how they replaced the starter in such cramped
environment. Thank you for any advice you can lend.

Welcome to the club. I take it that the engine is a 305 c.i.d GM
(Chevy)?
Yeah it's cramped.besides a bracket that attaches the end of the
starter to the block, there are a couple bolts that run up though the
starter motor to hold it against the engine block. chances are these
are 15 mm bolts. there is no easy procedure! taking the bolts out
droping the starter, disconnecting the cable and wires (provided you
disconnected the battery first) then to install the starter you
reverse the process. only be prepared to fight it harder, because they
always come off easier than they re-install. |

The thing is, the starters usually don't usually get "weak". They
either work, or they don't. before I went to all the pain to change
the starter motor, I would have the battery tested,a nd clean all
connections, including the ground cable, to where it attaches to the
engine block. >> Stay informed about: Need Bayliner 2452 Starter Replacement Procedure |

What he said. Plus if you have to remove the starter, long, wobble
extensions help. >> Stay informed about: Need Bayliner 2452 Starter Replacement Procedure |

So it is possible to change out the starter without removing the
exhause manifolds? How long does this take? Did you use mirrors?
How did you get your arms down that far? Thank you for your help. >> Stay informed about: Need Bayliner 2452 Starter Replacement Procedure |

I already changed out the key switch. Now I have a new slave solinoid
that I will try next. I bought the starter just in case. I will
clean the cables next.
I live in Alaska, so it is good to have parts on hand since the
boating season is so short. The boat is 12 years old and all original
so it may be good to change out the starter if I can anyway. Thanks
for your suggestion. >> Stay informed about: Need Bayliner 2452 Starter Replacement Procedure |
