- 5.0L Mercruiser w/ Alpha One GenII
When I start my engine (Mercruiser 305, 220HP, Carb) it first has that sound if you turn the ignition when the engine is already running. That grinding sound lasts about a second then it sounds normal and the engine starts. I've had the boat about six weeks and it has always started that way cold or warm. In addition, I've never had a problem starting it just sounds bad at first and scares everyone on the boat. Any thoughts?
