When you say internal, do you mean within the engine? Is that where the magneto housing is?The bendix is internal. It is located under the magneto housing.
It’s under the magneto housing cover. The cover is essentially the front case cover which also has the engine mounts attached to it.When you say internal, do you mean within the engine? Is that where the magneto housing is?
Thank You

No problem. I appreciate all the help I can get!! And Need it, Ha!Sorry, my seadoo starter experience did not translate to Yamaha!!!
I've used SBTs several times, and they seem to be fine. $150 retail. https://www.shopsbt.com/jetski/yamaha-starter-fx-waverunner-ho-60E-81800-00-00.htmlAt least I hope that's the case because I already ordered a starter for $377.00.
Thank you Marvin, I think I will next time. I'm not thrilled with Yamaha Sports Plaza. I paid extra to have the starter shipped pronto and just found out it's gonna take longer because they shipped it UPS. What is "SBT"?I would go eBay or sbt before paying $400 for a starter.

Thank You Spatty 99SBT (Short Block Technologies, sbt.com) is a company that sells rebuilt motors, starters, etc.
That sucks when you pay for expedited shipping and it means that instead of processing the order for normal 3 days it takes 1 day but they still ship it the same way and it arrives in 5 days instead of 7.Thank you Marvin, I think I will next time.

Don't understand your reply!! I ordered the starter on May 31 st and was promised a delivery date of June 6 th and paid extra. Recently found that they made a mistake and I have to wait until June 11th.That sucks when you pay for expedited shipping and it means that instead of processing the order for normal 3 days it takes 1 day but they still ship it the same way and it arrives in 5 days instead of 7.
The point was that sometimes you pay extra for expedited shipping, which means that you pay extra for them to ship earlier in the normal process vs. shipping earlier and shipping 2 day or next day etc. If expedited shipping is 7 days what is normal shipping? Amazon has set the bar pretty high these days.Don't understand your reply!! I ordered the starter on May 31 st and was promised a delivery date of June 6 th and paid extra.

Thanks for that picture, it helps a lot.
How did you get the starter lined up to go back in. I can't get the bolt holes lined up to the motor??10 minutes to change the starter!!!! Thanks so much for the tips, but that was still almost two hours of downward dog!! Needed to fashion a piece of PVC as well to bang the starter in from the back. It was not going easily.
