wkrp Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 My Merc starter finally gave in on me after 19 years. Now I am faced with the decision of whether to have to buy or rebuild. Anyone have any input on rebuilding as it is a lot cheaper.
Rizzo Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 I have never rebuilt but what size is the engine? If smaller I would likely just start over with new...bigger? Ya would definitely look into a repair if the engine has been solid otherwise
OhioFisherman Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 No experience with an outboard starter, but with a car starter sometimes just the brushes were worn, a few bucks and a little time, easy fix. A rough idea on new prices? https://www.amazon.com/DB-Electrical-SAB0168-50-859377T-50-884044T/dp/B008CQRSN6

AKRISONER Posted July 31, 2021 Report Posted July 31, 2021 Definitely depends on how much power you have. also worth considering is how much money on fuel you will save with for example a newer four stroke vs an old two. especially with gas at 1.30+
porkpie Posted August 1, 2021 Report Posted August 1, 2021 My buddy had the starter on his 2012 merc 150 rebuilt and as far as I know it turned out fine.
Garnet Posted August 1, 2021 Report Posted August 1, 2021 I bought rebuilt starter for my 225 Merc $500 years ago worked great. Call a few referb places see if available.
