Check run out on the flywheel
How strong is your BATTERY and that POWER ? Correct size battery here spinning over the engine ? 12.75 / 12.8 volts is fully charged and USE a cranking battery not a deep cycle battery. All marine manu strongly recommend a cranking battery NOT a deep cycle battery for engine starting and running the engine side. I would use a quality 1000 MCA cranking battery.
And not a walmart nor a O reilly nor a costco batteries period and IMO blue top OPTI s are junk to.

Ive seen this before when the engine isn't started, pull the plugs and crank the engine a couple rotations and see if it disengages ? if not rotate the crank clock wise with a break over bar just a bit and see if it disengages.

[QUOTE=BUP;4674141]I see the same thing. I agree with you

Hopefully some of that info helped and a Volt meter - and Voltage DROP testing when you hit the starter. Had a feeling it was something to do with POWER / Voltage not spinning over the engine hard enough. Just saying.
