1987 Evinrude 20hp Electric Starter Replacement - HELP!!
Hi Forum Guru(s)
I have a 1987 Evinrude 20hp outboard that is strong as an ox. Problem is end of last year the starter started to die, I was able to get the starter and it's bracket off the engine to replace it, but I cannot seem to see or understand how to take the starter out of the bracket. I am pretty mechanically inclined and this is baffling the begeezes out of me and with fishing maybe coming up quicker than normal, I need to get my 16foot Monark back out on the bay. engine model is E20ELCUR. I have searched high and low on the Interwebs and found the starter complete for under $60 brand new (awesome deal) but I just cannot see how to separate the bracket from the starter (I'm a pretty good searcher on the web as well for information - need to do it on a daily basis for work) Help! Please!

see below
I do not have exact photo of mine, but these are the same and last one is same idea for a close up there are no screws or bolts holding the bracket to the starter that I can see, but that does not mean they are screwed in from the bottom. The only idea I have is the two long screws that start at the bottom of the starter and maybe go through the top into the bracket???? The bracket comes off the engine and has a ring around the top of the starter between the body of the starter and the bendex

I believe if you remove the two very long screws that go through the length of the starter, that may remove the bracket...

I concur.
In the first picture there are rounded vertical bosses that protrude from the bracket's ring around the starter. Follow them in the direction away from the starter drive. I suspect you will see the corresponding screws that require removal. In other words, absent a manual, I too would remove the long screws. |

If all else fails...
If all else fails, then Pull.... Pull..... Pull
Sorry AC2717... I just couldn't help myself when I saw the notches on the top of the flywheel. Lots of memories of taking a cover off, and having two lengths of rope, with one end tied around a tree branch or a wooden dowel about 5 in. long. Hope the long screw idea is a winner.

Thank you
I was thinking the two long screws were the answer, but didn't want to start taking the actual starter apart. I will pull those two long screws and see what happens. Will keep y'all updated. Upthe-thank you but that is just internal on the starter, not wanting to rebuild it rather just replace the whole thing, cheap enough. Funny I can find for under $60 or can get from Evinrude for $170. I'll take the cheaper

I had to do this on my 30 HP Johnson.
Yes the two long bolts that run through the body hold the starter to the bracket. Now the thing you need to be careful of I when you install your new one there are temporary bolts that hold the housing together that must be removed. If you are not careful to hold the entire starter together, IE TOP and bottom while it is unscrewed it will come apart and if it does... it's a total and complete PITA to get the thing back together. It will want to separate because there are spring loaded brushes in the bottom end of the starter. Good Luck! |

Great news lol
Just replaced the starter in the bracket and was extremely easy thank you for the tip on holding the starter together while taking the screws out. Took about 10 minutes including clean up and parts cleaning. All that's left is reinstall starter bracket and turn the key. Will be about two weeks from now Thanks for all the pointers and info Got the starter for $56 from discount starter no core charge delivered in less than three days to the door
