2001 GPR - Starter help

[ostermann]

Starter spins but does not engage, is this typically a starter issue or a solenoid issue? Boat was running good, idled for 10 minutes out of cove then quit. You can hear the starter spinning, but nothing in the way of anything turning over.

bendix

When I look at the parts breakdown there is no part labeled Bendix, which part are you referring to: is this part of the starter or is this part of the flywheel assembly?

After a little research I see what you are talking about, so what fails on these - gears? I have rebuilt the motor twice in the past is there an easy way to change out or is this a pull the motor event?

Motor can stay in, but you gotta probably pull the exhaust (just as bad).

It is under the flywheel cover
