I once helped a friend troubleshoot a starting problem. We removed the
starter and had the Yanmar distributor test it. It tested fine, but when I
reinstalled the starter it still wouldn't work. Long story short, there was
a loose connection between the solenoid and the starter motor, internal to

David,
If it ends up being your starter, the local expert in our area is Don Fontaine.
He does all the local marina work and all the work for Barton and Gray, the
Hinckley partnership club based in Stonington. His shop is in the velvet mill
in Stonington Borough. I can email you his contact

Thanks for the response, and that seems to match the current situation. They
do not seem to be very organized as an ongoing business, nor looking out beyond
the current “excess” demand for their services. That will change when the
economy changes…
I did finally receive a call
I spent three weeks working on the same sort of problem with my 2gm20f. I
replaced almost all the wiring from the alternator to the panel, from the
key to the push button, from the push button to the solenoid, etc...
Nothing I had done so far worked (although through testing/metering

I had a similar situation. Turned out to be a separated / broken wire within
the wire harness behind the panel. The 30 yo wires eventually just broke. The
mechanic used several butt connectors to reconnect the wires, skipping part of
the harness. Has worked for 5 years.

Ditto start button or start position of ignition switch. Momentarily jump
the start button terminals or the "S" terminal of the ignition switch.

I had this happen this weekend. Was losing power at the panel. I thought it was
the terminal on the starter at first but ended up being a lose terminal for the
control panel. Luckily, I was rafted next to a master marine electrician. He
figured it out in about two minutes.

It could be the solenoid. Run jumpers from the battery to the starter,
bypassing the solenoid. If that does it, it's the solenoid. Or, you could
try using a ;multimeter to see what the voltage is at the input to the
solenoid and at the output of the solenoid when you turn the key.

David,
It sounds like you have a bad solenoid for your starter and juice is not
getting to it. It could also be a bad starter, but more likely the solenoid.
It’s a relatively cheap fix, though probably hard to access.
All the best,

It's not for the starter...It is for power to the control panel. It
just happens to be behind the starter on top of the engine...
Which in my opinion is a really stupid place to hide it, and took me
forever to find.

David,
You didn't mention the engine model, but I assume all are wired similarly.
I have a Westerbeke 38B and the main 12V lead to the starter is via a
per-heat solenoid. I had this fail and the 12V was not passing on to the
starter. I press the pre-heat button, then the start button.

That fuse holder is especially syrange- starters are the exception to the

Had this happen to me. Mine has an obscure fuse right side facing aft,
near the starter. My fuse holder had
cracked and was intermittently permitting things to work perfectly or
not at all. Check that, and the ground

The stop knob wouldn't prevent the motor from turning over, but good on you

Nothing at all when I push the start button. I ran the engine before the race

Just as a final point of clarification, I just emailed Barry Carroll who
tells me that no 44s were built in Rhode Island. Just Landfalls, including
the Landfall 48. Barry ran that plant before establishing his own Carroll

Thanks Don,
For some reason the broker told me not to do that now as he has to do that
anyway when he sells the boat, however if doing this now will prove the
boat was built in the US it will save me some money on import fees when I
go to sell.
Thanks again,
