2004 2400SR Starter

[CDobby]

Hello Everyone,

My maxum boat starter is now making a grinding noise when I try to start it. Does anyone have a suggestion if starter ti use on a 5.7 Mercrusier alpha 1? Is it difficult to change?

Use engine serial number to look up the correct starter. Starboard exhaust manifold may need to be removed to gain access.

Thank you! I will check that out!

I used to have a 2400 with a 5.0. I did change the starter myself. It was port side way under the manifold. It is blind work but can be done with patience and the right tools. I don't know if pulling the manifold would help....
