Dear Afourians!!
My name is Tommy I have a '76 Pearson 30 with a pretty reliable Atomic 4. That we keep in Hampton, VA I Have had her since 2010. When we first purchased the boat the starter required several attempts(Push the button) several times until the engine would engage (So much so we almost renamed the boat "tink tink" ) I pulled the starter took it to a local shop that refurbished the starter and voila!! Tink Tink no more! Alas, 8 years later and good old Tink tink is back! I have removed the starter and taken it back to shop (Auto Electric Marine in Norfolk VA) I am about to reinstall the starter, but wondered, is this a common maintenance issue, or could some other sort of adjustment to the starter or flywheel be necessary?
