Man, you have the best sense of humor that I ever saw out here.
Starters, start your engines... They do not slip. If the mounting bolts are not tightened to start with, then and Oh yes, they will brake bolts like popcorn, and consider yourself lucky because I have seen loose starters brake not only bolts, but engine blocks as well. Nothing new mind you, lots of torque involved to light an engine off... The more compression an engine has, the more critical things become.
I read and enjoy your comments here, and also can't help feeling sorry for some of the engine problems that you have suffered. I trust you, and my sincere hope is that you will find a competent outfit to perform any work on your boat that you for what ever reason elect to outsource to them.
Here's to a short learning curve [ for you ], and a long and very Happy boating future!!
Best of luck to you and your's,
Terry
