Maintenance/Repair Details: Starboard engine failed to turn over today prior to leaving for a weekend away. Investigated and found that the starter solenoid had failed (later informed that probably due to worn starter motor brushes). Located a replacement and fitted, test started O.K. Need to source starter motor refurbishment dealer in the near future.
