After I enter my code on the keypad and press Start, the starter spins but doesn't engage the flywheel (no engine turnover). I don't hear a "click," but I'm not a mechanic. There is no grinding. I have charged the battery (2.5 years old), cleaned all contacts, and banged the starter with a hammer (through a 2x4 piece of wood). Boat has 250 hours. Rainwater filled the bilge during torrential rains and rose up to the starter one year ago. I'm guessing this is a solenoid problem, but I don't have a volt meter to test it myself (and I'm not sure what to test, anyway). Mechanic I spoke to recommended pulling the starter and sending it for testing, possibly have it rebuilt. I think I could remove it myself (I replaced a starter on a car...once), but it's tight quarters and I'm a little worried about screwing up the wiring. Also, I've read about relays and secondary solenoids, but I don't know if those are relevant to my boat. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

There isn't much wiring to screw up, yeah it's Tight quarters but can certainly be done. If you've changed one on a car it's really not that different. I'd recommend pulling it and either do a bench test yourself with a 12v battery And a set of jumper cables, or take it to local auto parts store for bench test. More than likely probably just needs to be replaced.2009 Super Air Nautique 210 TE

Likely just replace the bendix. That’s what pushes out the gear to engage with flywheel.
