i have a 2001 Mercruiser 3.0 liter that i believe is in need of starter maintenance. Ever since i bought her in 2008 it seems to have a slow cranking speed. i've put in a new battery, and replaced the capacitor between the battery and the starter, but compared to other starters both auto and marine, it seems to be laboring to do its job. Unfortunately this is not car talk so i can't make the sound to bring about hysterical laughter and misdiagnosis! But based on my description and the age of the starter is a rebuild in order? And if so, any recommendations on where to take it?

Thanks,
Steve
