Well, it's looking like the starter has to come out...after 3-4 weeks of starting without any issues and a few local trips, I decided it's time to be back to
Catalina again.
Got to the island, fished a little and baited up the hoopnets. All set and ready right? Wrong!!! Turn the ignition and CLICK! Switch to the fully charged starting battery, CLICK!! Banged on the starter and she finally starts.
I got back to the slip and tried to remove the starter. Lots of PB blaster
and no go on the inner nut between the starter and the engine. It won. I went home with my tail between my legs. I will be back at it this weekend when I and fresh.
BTW, I did manage a couple of Lobster for dinner. Even kept a calico; which we steamed with soysauce and chives. I earned it!
