A month ago i was partying on boat listening to radio for several hours. I went to start boat to charge batteries and boat didn't start. Assuming batteries were dead i went and got charger and charged batteries. still no start! so i put tester on and realized batteries were fine. I cleaned connections on battery and bam it started. last week went fishing for 12 hours. stopped to unload fish and no start! engine and engine compartment was pretty warm. Smacked starter with harpoon and bam started!. got boat home and checked next day and it started. Am i safe to assume that this is a starter issue? i thought maybe it was because the engine room was so hot but because i had the prior issue i am leaning more towards just replacing starter. thoughts?
