I hear of people pro actively replacing there starters quite often while the engine is out, simply because it is so much easier to replace the starter with the engine out, then in.

I gotta admit, the thought has crossed my mind while mine is out. It's 24 years old....

Thanks. Brad.

DB Electric has good starters are great prices,....

I often proactively replace the starter, alternator, circulation pump, etc on boats. Then you have a good used spare to take with you on trips too.

true story,last summer we took the engine out of my buddy,s 26 foot boat to remove the transom assembly,he had a new starter in a box that had been sitting for about 10 years,when we put everything back togeather guess what,the starter just clicked ,would not crank over.i was able to remove the starter and put his old one in without lifting the engine but it was a ***** of a job.the lesson learned is,always bench test any starter prior to installing it.

Starters are cheaper than the cost of pulling motor
