I'm at anchor, and don't like the feeling of not being able to turn the 
prop.

Any suggestions or diagnostic ideas? Do I need a new starter, or 
something worse?

This is a Perkins 4.236 (diesel) 1980 model and has worked like a champ, 
starting first time for years. The batteries are fully charged, so 
that's not the problem.

During the last month, the motor sometimes would not start first time. 
Either it made a loud whirring noise, or sometimes just a very loud 
click/clunk. After a few attempts, the motor usually starts. The problem 
seems to have worsened this week. And now it just clicks loudly, no 
starting.

Thanks for any feedback and ideas.

-Neal.
