Water and Corrosion Inspection

• If they are clean and gold in color, the starter motor has not had water inside of it.
• If they are dirty and discolored the starter motor may have water contamination and should be replaced.
IMPORTANT: Starter damage caused by water contamination is not covered by the Mercury MerCruiser warranty.
