Old starter did the same thing, go I installed a new marine starter.  Same symptoms, starter spins but bendix won't move.  Maybe I got a defective new starter?  I thought the bendix has to move/engage before the starter motor would spin.  

This is getting beyond my mechanical capabilities.  How do I get a pontoon to CAT, I don't have a trailer.

Again, thanks for all the responses.
