Help Changing Starter on a 22V

[CJAuster]

Ok Guys,

I have done a fair amount of handy work on the boat over the years. I have a Mercruiser and am changing the starter. The space is super tight. Any advice on how to get a wrench in there? Also, are you guys removing the muffler to gain access?

Any tips on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey Gumby, that makes sense. How did you reach that 2nd bolt?

Do they make a flexible hose that extends with a ratchet end or something?

Thanks!
