1990 pontoon with 3.0 mercruiser. It eats starters due to a poor design that allows water to splash on it at every decceleration. This year I replaced the starter (third time) and it worked until July 4th weekend (of course). Starter spins, but the bendix won't engage. Installed new starter, same symptom. Replaced both battery cables. No joy. Anybody got a suggestion(s)??

Cat: If the answer is your shop, how do I get it there? I don't have a trailer.

PS: The work you did on my Larson was great!! Happy customer.
