I've done around 7 deep river crossings recently, which has taken it's toll on my startor motor. Water/moisture had caused corrosion on the soloniod contacts, resulting in a complete inability to start. A simple contact cleanup has got it back on the road (I removed the starter via the bottom, after removing the steering coupling).
An auto electrician told me to replace the entire starter (part=$650) because it shouldn't be leaking. What's your thoughts? Is a new starter much more resistant, or will I just end up with the same problem another 7 crossings later?
Another option I'm considering is a thorough cleanup, seal, and mods (breather?) to improve it's resistance.
