I just had the boat out a few times and the last time the engine starter sounded funny so I took a look and it was loose and broke 1 of the bolts off holding it in? Not sure why it would lossen up? So pulled the starter and need to remove the broken bolt
Not sure what options I have? I think I only have 2- Any ideas will be appreciated
1)See if it can be drilled and use a bolt extractor if possible-2) Or is the only way to remove bolt is to pull the engine?
Are these special bolts for marine application or can I use regular starter bolts- I know the head is longer on the marine bolts and looks maybe to be a different steel color?
Thanks
John
