2003 AR210 starter location or tips.

[steelelovell]

So I bought a 2003 AR210 twin 2stroke. Been sitting for a few years and thought it might make a good project boat. Cleaned it up a bit and hooked a battery up to it. Actually the port engine started right up. Only ran for a second or two then I shut off. Rough as all get out but it started.
Starboard engine just clicks. Engine won’t turn over. First thought is starter. But for the life of me I can’t find it can anyone tell me where the starter is located on this engine or a diagram. Or any tips/tricks.

If you can try to find the starter relay, you can jump the points with a screwdriver to see if it turns out. If it starts, it's the relay.

Any idea where that is?

Typically on the bulkhead, aft of the engines. Item 1 in the screenshot . https://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/oemparts/a/yam/50039e54f870021f60a113ba/electrical-1

Looks correct. @steelelovell find the two nuts (might be covered in rubber boots) on that relay. turn the key on but don't crank. Jump the two nuts (might be a spark) and if your starter fires right away, replace your relay. If no starter noise is heard, replace your starter.

Oh I remember the days of starting my old 71ford truck that way. Completely understand the process. Just didn’t know where the relay was.
Thanks in advance.

Thankfully all relays are about the same!
