@SuperJetDan , I didn't know enough about it to really be helpful Dan, but I do remember reading a number of posts over the years about the relay being the issue on starters. I don't think I remember a single post claiming a bad starter.

I know if it turned out to be the starter, you will post it up so we know! Can you post pics of the process and description? You never know when your going to have to do this! And I am more of a parts replacer than a mechanic, so I need all the help I can get!

Dan, try taking the relay out and banging it on a hard surface. Give it a good whack, put it back in and try it.

Gotcha, good luck with the sale. That's a trick out of my redneck repair manual. Has worked well for me in the past.
Give the bride a big sloppy kiss for me!

Oh no, you just got the boat and you were a big help to us LS owners. I am sure it is hard to overlook the profit you must be able to make on this but didn't you want to have some fun with the boat.
Bad news and I hope you change your mind.

I'm not sure how hard it is to get to the relay. But you could try swapping it out with the relay on the working engine just to verify.

This is why I don't want you to sell the LS. What about I buy it from you but you keep it and maintain it?
Did you have to move the engine to replace the starter relay or is it easy to access? Is it below the engine like the starter? Thanks for taking the time to follow up with the solution. I will clean all ground and main wires yearly

@SuperJetDan glad you got it running. That's a bummer about it not being the relay. I'm sure you'll be able to help someone else in the future with the same issues. Good luck with the sale.

@SuperJetDan, glad you got it going and the problem was not major. It bums me out that you are selling, but someone is going to get a great boat, after you went through it, it is in tip top shape!!!! Make sure to invite the buyer to join us on here. I look forward to still having you on here and hearing your input and ideas...
