Hello all, So my aftermarket starter died last season and I recently pulled it out looking to compare for fit to a replacement. The local marina looking for $275 prompted more searching and many seem available for @ $100 or less w 1 year warranty. I believe Yanmar replacement is over $400, so there is the quality/price issue if anyone can chime in. However, I now see as a bigger problem. The starter shows a large piece of the shield for the pinion gear and shaft missing. This part of the shield section supports the shaft end and that is completely missing...so no support of the pinion gear shaft. Although I hadn't looked closely at it when I removed it, I would have noticed loose pieces. So if this has broken off inside the bell housing, pieces may still be there. I am thinking that I must remove the trans for access to clear any remnants. Any other ideas? Also, any thoughts about why this happened? Thanks much, Tom Oryniak Carry On 33-1 Raritan Bay
