Trucker 6 Posted April 14, 2014 I have an '06 IRide with a 320 Indmar. Recently the starter has begun to drag with starting. It does turn over and cranks but drags. I replaced the battery but the problem is still there. Time for a starter?? Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmypooh 219 Posted April 14, 2014 Yep! I had my starter rebuilt on my 06 VLX with Monsoon about 2 years ago. Battery replacement didn't help so I knew it was starter. Be sure to either rebuild your existing starter or get a marine starter. I've been told Marine starters are built a little different so that they don't cause sparks in the closed engine bay so as to not ignite any fumes. If it helps, I think having my starter rebuilt cost between $100-$125 at a local shop. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trucker 6 Posted April 14, 2014 Thanks. Going to check all the wires first just to make sure it's not a bad connection. Hard to swap out? Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slyexe 32 Posted April 14, 2014 Pretty simple task, 2 bolts hold it in place typically, just slide out and undo the wiring, or it might have a harnass. If you want to make sure its the starter have someone try starting the boat while tapping on the starter with a screw driver or hammer, if it kicks faster than usual it's probably the brushings. Mine went out last summer and I bought mine for 250$ brand new rather than having it rebuilt since it was 15 years old. It should be located on the left side near the back if you have a DD like me.Good luck! Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tvano 819 Posted April 14, 2014 pull the negative cable off the battery before you start swinging wrenches. 4 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
