So you're out on your boat in 5 foot seas. Why would you want to shut off your engine?

Turning sideways in a 5 foot sea not fun,if you survive. Keep engine running facing into waves if possible. Not good time to work on a starter for sure:)

FWIW, there are still places that will rebuild your old starter. That is what we did on our houseboat. Always good to have a spare.....

More important than the height is the distance between the tops . In open sea five feet ain't much if a mile apart , or even fifteen or twenty if far apart .

His question was directed at me I assume. I made the comment below on a closed thread.
"Just bought a $260 Marine Starter for my Boat, could have gotten a Communist Chinese Made for $100. Out on the water in 5' seas, what starter would you want to depend on???"
Things do happen as in running out of fuel and having to change from one tank to the other. YES I have done that. Not much fun as I was thrown from one side of the boat to the other. :B
