Week of July 1, 2013: starter rebuild and raw water components

This past week I completed a starter rebuild for a 4.7 liter mercruiser engine. The boat had been put back in the water without one of its drain plugs and the engine room got half flooded. The starter would work sometimes and needed to be rebuild due to salt water in the starter. I cleaned and put it back together and it worked great. I also learned and did some work on a sailboat that ending up having a broken raw water impeller as you can see in my photo. Learning so much about the marine industry and enjoying it all.
