I have heard, although I have not personally explored, that Yanmar engines are also installed in farm/lawn/industrial equipment. My understanding is that purchasing parts, such as a starter solenoid can be significantly less expensive though establishments that service/sell parts for the above mentioned.
Tossing it out there. Anyone?

OK, here's my problem, please let me know the collective wisdom of the fleet! I have a 1987 33-II; Yanmar 2GM; the engine has been running fine for the past two years (which is as long as I've owned it); standard routine maintenance and winterization (oil and filter replaced); batteries in good condition; Today we had to motor for about 2 hours, running at 2400 rpms, at 6.3 knots, with no issues. We docked at a restaurant for about 1/2 hour or so, and then when we went to restart the engine, the alarm whistle went on but nothing else, the engine would not turn over, or even "click"; after several tries, we tried tapping on the starter with the end of a screw driver while pushing the start switch, and presto, the engine started immediately! So, is this the same issue as has been recently discussed, (insufficient wiring to the switch, poor grounding to the engine, etc) or something else? If more info is needed, let me know, and I'll gladly provide... This has never happened before so we were surprised when it happened. Many thanks for all your help.
