I'm pretty certain it's my starter going- but I wanted to confirm my suspicions. I've got a 460 in the boat, blue top battery with full charge, good fuel pressure, fresh gas, good spark, etc. When I turn it over, it will make this loud- metal to metal clunk. Like a 3lb sledgehammer hitting 1/2" plate. When I turn the key again- the engine will turn over. It happens when the engine is hot or cold. No grinding, or winding- just the clunk. This leads me to believe the solenoid is getting hung up, or the starter motor is just worn out. Am I crazy?

Pull the starter and check it.
